The last gasp of summer!

Here we are, just 2 weeks away from the start of the 09-10 school year! Summer seems to have flown right by. I hope it has been as fun and relaxing for all of you as it has been for me!

I am looking forward to seeing all your smiling (and probably tanned) faces soon, until then, enjoy the end of summer!

Summer city festivals

Looking for some adventures but short on funds? Why not try one of the nearby community summer festivals? Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days are over, so is the Orem City Fest. However, American Fork's Steel Days are coming up in July and there are lots of family friendly activities that don't cost an arm and a leg! Click on the link below to check it out!

Here is the link for Lehi City's Round-Up Celebration, also in July!

And, of course, Provo's Freedom Festival!

Steel Days Art Show

American Fork is host its annual Steel Days Art Show July 16-18! They are sending out their Call For Entries this weekend! Anyone interested in entering the art show can click on the images above to read everything you need to know in order to enter!

My kids and I have entered this art show for many years and it is always fun! We have even occasionally won prizes! The Steel Days carnival is in the park right next to the library during the show, so there is lots of fun for the whole family!

Please feel free to post any questions you might have!

Summer Software Giveaway!

Hey all you Harvest Artists! Here is a summer challenge for you!

Find the EXTRA CREDIT on this blog. Learn about one of them and report in! Add a comment to this blog post and the first TWO reporting in will WIN A COPY OF THE SOFTWARE SHOWN ABOVE!

That's right! I will mail a copy of Crayola's Print Factory AND Magic 3D Coloring Book to the first two blog readers who respond!

Here are the ground rules:

1. You must be one of my students at Harvest Elementary (yes, my exiting 6th graders can still participate!).
2. You can have a parent help you!
3. You must tell me something about what you discovered in the EXTRA CREDIT section. Please don't write a novel!
4. DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR PERSONAL MAILING INFO IN THE COMMENT! I will announce the two winners in the next blog post and give you the info you need to contact me privately so I can mail you your prize.

That's it! The software is older, I make no guarantees that it will work with your system... but since it is FREE you might as well give it a shot!

Good Luck!

Walker's Coloring Page for June

Every month, the Walker's gas stations have a coloring page for children. If you click on this image it will load alone. You can then print it and color it in. If you take it to a Walker's during the month of June, you will receive a free prize! This one came from the Walker's in American Fork on Main Street. Have fun!
