had so much fun we have to do it again! It’s time for our second
annual Rocket Club! We’re looking for a maximum of 10
kids aged 10 – 14 who are interested in learning about rocketry and
building models. This year we will be building the SureFire X-19
Explorer rocket (a 19 in. solid fuel rocket). We may also try a couple
more complex models if time permits. On launch day we'll try
some rocket racing. This will be over 5 sessions April 25

Session time is 1:00 to 2:30p.m.
Not
10 yet but think rockets are cool? Join the Rocket Boosters,
new this year! We have space for 10 kids age 6 to 9 to experience
rocketry. This will be a two session program on Saturday May 16
and Saturday May 30th from
3:00 to 4:00p.m.. Kids will play with simple air powered rockets,
stomp rockets, and water rockets while learning what makes rockets go

The
Littlest Tugboat
October
21st, 10:00am - By
Sarah Sherman McGrail -- The
Littlest Tugboat is a cheerful children's book about a family of
tugboats that works hard to guide ships up and down the Kennebec
River. Tommy, the littlest Tugboat, chafes when his mother tells
him to stay home during stormy weather, while his bigger
siblings are hard at work. When Tommy ventures out on his own,
he discovers a barge carried toward a low bridge by the
storm--only the littlest tugboat can save the day, and the
bridge, by guiding the barge to safety!
Please
join us for a reading and book signing of this wonderful local
children’s tale by a Southport Island native. After the
reading the author also will explain how she got the idea for
the story and how the book and illustrations come together to
make a book!
