Oak Hill and The Martha Berry Museum will close out the summer break with another free Family Morning program on Wednesday, July 29, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The family-friendly event is open to all ages and is designed to engage young learners and their families through interactive and educational activities. Family Morning programs are offered several times throughout the year during school breaks, giving families an opportunity to explore the museum together.

The theme for July’s program is “Colors at Berry.” Participants will be encouraged to discover the colors, patterns and artistic inspiration found inside The Martha Berry Museum and throughout Berry College’s historic campus.

Activities will include a color scavenger hunt inside the museum, creating a garden design inspired by the gardens at Oak Hill and exploring the patterns and science behind stained glass, using the windows of Frost Chapel as inspiration.

Local artist Patricia Eastin will also present a live oil painting demonstration during the event.

Admission is free, and no age restrictions were announced. Organizers note that the Oak Hill home will not be open for tours during the Family Morning program.

Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley is gearing up for the return of Rome Emperors baseball and hopes fans visiting AdventHealth Stadium will come hungry.

Executive Director Betsy Allgood says Habitat operates two of the large concession stands and the nacho stand at the ballpark during Emperors home games. Fifteen percent of the concession proceeds benefit Habitat, and the organization also accepts tips.

Habitat is now looking for volunteers ages 14 and older to help work concessions throughout the season. Anyone interested in volunteering can register through Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley.

The organization is also preparing for its upcoming Overall Ball, scheduled for Saturday evening, April 25, at Oak Hill. The event will feature entertainment from the Andrews Brothers Dueling Pianos.

Allgood says proceeds from the Overall Ball will support Habitat’s latest home build. Habitat for Humanity Coosa Valley serves families in Chattooga, Floyd, and Polk counties.
