Preshistoric Potters for Kids

Time: 1:00 pm til 2:00 pm

Location: Mid-County Regional Library, Port Charlotte

Description: “Discovering Florida’s Ancient People through Prehistoric Potters” - Who were the first people to live in Florida? All are long gone and most did not have written languages. How do we know what we know about those who have come before us? Archaeology is one way of understanding the past through the things that were left behind. Come learn about what archaeologists do and what sort of clues they study to understand what life was like for the very first Floridians! Try your hand at creating your own Native Floridian-style clay pot!

Clewiston Mus presents: "Charla,” a Chat w Jose Marti by Chaz Mena.

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Clewiston Museum, Clewiston

Description: It is 1891 and José Martí (as portrayed by Chaz Mena) is preparing for his first trip to Tampa and Ybor City. Time is running out for the Cuban independence movement and Martí must inspire and galvanize his people to join the revolution against Spain in order to achieve a just society in Cuba. As he readies himself for the journey, Martí reflects upon his childhood, his studies, his writings, and his loves. “Charla,” which in Spanish means “a chat,” allows us to appreciate the challenges Martí faced in jump-starting the Cuban Revolution.

Chaz Mena is an accomplished actor with an impressive resume of dramatic accomplishments off Broadway, in regional theaters, and in film and television. Chaz has just been selected to host The Quincentennial Minute, celebrating Florida's 500-year anniversary; a timeline with 25, one-minute episodes in Florida history will be delivered by Chaz in both English and Spanish, then aired on all PBS stations in the state. He has also recently taped his one-person play Yo Solo…Bernardo de Galvez on the Stage of the American Revolution at WSRE in Pensacola, a PBS affiliate station. PBS will distribute this performance nationally in 2012-1
