virginia quilt museumIn recognition of the National Park Service Centennial, the Virginia Quilt Museum kicks off a month-long celebration of Arts and the Parks this First Friday, July 1, from 5:00-8:00 pm.

For children, North River Librarian Bly Brown will share adventure-story times beginning at 6:30 or 7:15, followed by chalk drawings on the alley.  Meanwhile, Virginia game-warden-turned-author Frank Mundy will offer up truth-based tales from the great outdoors guaranteed to entertain the rest of us!  Frank will also have his books available for signing.

Admission is free during First Friday events.

Be on the lookout for more ways to celebrate “Arts and the Parks” with us each week during July!
