SUMMARY:STOP the BLEED First Aid Class
DESCRIPTION:Today we live in a world where terrorism\, the actions of unstable people\, and the dangerous impulses of friends and relatives are very real and becoming increasingly more frequent. \nMassive bleeding from any cause\, but particularly from an active shooter or explosive event where a response is delayed can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR\, the public must learn proper bleeding control techniques\, including how to use their hands\, dressings\, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding\, within five to 10 minutes. \nHowever\, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. \nThe Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps is offering this FREE training to teens in cooperation with Our Lady of Fatima’s Youth Group. \nWHEN:  Tuesday\, Oct. 30\, 2018 from 7-8 p.m. (EDT) \nWHERE: Our Lady of Fatima Parish Center (229 Danbury Rd.) \nFAQs: \nAre there registration requirements? \nYes. It is important that each student be given adequate time and instruction with an instructor. We need to know in advance as to how many participants to expect\, to ensure we have enough supplies and instructors on hand\, thereby making advanced registration required. \nParticpants will be required to fill out a waiver that they should complete and bring to the event. This waiver will be sent to you via email after registering. \nAre there any age restrictions for attending this class? \nDue to the nature of the content of this paticular class\, the participants should be at least 13 years of age. The target audience for this particular class is teeens between 13 and 18 years old. \nIs there a cost associated with this event? \nNo. This training is offered free of charge as a service to the community by the Wilton Volunteer Ambulance Corps. That being said\, WVAC is 100% a volunteer\, non-for-profit 501(c)3 organization\, and not a department within the Town of Wilton\, that relies heavily on donations from the community. Donations are by no means a prerequisite for attending this course but should you so desire\, you will have the opportunity to donate when registering for the event through this site\, or at the event itself. \nWho can I contact with any questions? \nYou may contact Brian McDermott\, WVAC vice president and community events coordinator via email. Additionally\, contact Mara Fleming\, coordinator of youth ministry at OLF via email.

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Dressed Macaroni and Cheese
DESCRIPTION:“Sources differ as to the introduction of Macaroni and Cheese to the United States. Some credit colonial settlers who may have brought over the dish from England\, while others ascribe the introduction to Thomas Jefferson\, who had sampled the dish in Europe and so enjoyed it that he attempted to design a macaroni-making machine. This didn’t go to plan\, and he settled for importing the Parmesan cheese and macaroni noodles\, and then serving the dish at a state dinner\,” says Leah Bhabha at Food52. \nWilton Historical Society‘s museum educator Lola Chen will show children how to make Dressed Macaroni and Cheese\, 19th-century style\, at this month’s Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop. They will use an adaptation of a recipe from The Housekeeper’s Book\, published in 1838\, which features onion\, clove\, Parmesan cheese\, nutmeg\, cream\, butter\, pepper and salt. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards – as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansy\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup and scalloped tomatoes. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for members is $10/child; non-members $15/child. Space is limited—please register by email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nPresident Thomas Jefferson’s Macaroni Recipe from the Monticello website: \n“Jefferson was most likely not the first to introduce macaroni (with or without cheese) to America\, nor did he invent the recipe. The most that can be said is that he probably helped to popularize it by serving it to dinner guests during his presidency. There survives\, however\, a recipe for macaroni in Jefferson’s own hand: \n6 eggs. yolks & whites.\n2 wine glasses of milk\n2 lb of flour\na little salt\nwork them together without water\, and very well.\nroll it then with a roller to a paper thickness\ncut it into small peices which roll again with the hand into long slips\, & then cut them to a proper length.\nput them into warm water a quarter of an hour.\ndrain them.\ndress them as maccaroni.\nbut if they are intended for soups they are to be put in the soup & not into warm water”

SUMMARY:Felting Workshop for Kids:  Making Felted Mittens
DESCRIPTION:One of the world’s oldest textiles\, felt is created from wool or other animal fibers that are densely matted together. It is ideal for protecting against cold and insulating against heat\, thus it has long been used for hats\, mittens\, blankets\, rugs\, yurts\, boots and clothing. In this Felting Workshop for Kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will discuss the origins of felting\, and lead the children in making felted mittens from recycled sweaters. The kids will help make their own snack. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Wilton Historical Society members fee is $10 per child\, maximum $25 per family; non-members fee is $15 per child\, maximum $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nMaking felted hats\, Danbury was known as “Hat City” . . . and hatters suffered “Danbury Shakes.” \n“The origins of Danbury’s hat-making industry date back to the late 18th century. It was then that Zadoc Benedict\, having stumbled upon a way to make felt by adding heat\, moisture\, and pressure to animal pelts\, began using his bedpost to mold felt into hats. He then hired a journeyman and two hat-making apprentices and started producing three hats per day. Danbury proved an ideal location for hat making thanks to its abundant populations of beavers and rabbits for pelts and thickly wooded forests for firewood. . . . In the early 1800s\, Danbury produced mostly unfinished hats. Hatters softened and dyed the felt through an 18- to 20-hour boiling process\, and molded the pieces into their proper shape. They then rolled the hats up by twos into paper and placed them in a linen bag\, and from there\, into a leather sack for shipment to New York by coach. Once in New York\, craftsmen trimmed and finished the hats.” – ConnecticutHistory.org\, a program of CT Humanities. \nThe expression “as mad as a hatter” is believed to have its origins in the deleterious effects of mercury nitrate exposure on workers in hat factories. During the mid-19th century\, the term “hatter’s shakes” became commonplace in the United States and Europe. It referred to the tremors experienced by workers whose prolonged exposure to the toxic mercury used in making headwear had devastating effects. In Connecticut\, the physical condition was termed the “Danbury Shakes.”

SUMMARY:Tinsmithing Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:According to the folks at Colonial Williamsburg\, “The trade of tinsmithing could be learned in one of two ways. First\, a young boy could become an apprentice in an established tinsmith shop. Apprenticeships typically lasted for anywhere from four to six years. . . Commonly produced items included tin funnels\, plates\, cups\, candle holders\, lanterns\, coffee pots\, pails\, whistles\, bowls\, canteens\, chandeliers\, and even tin ‘speaking trumpets\,’ a Colonial style of megaphone.” \nIn this fun Wilton Historical Society workshop\, kids ages 6-12 will make “tin” cookie cutters. The museum educator will talk about the history of tinsmiths and the important items they produced\, including cookie cutters. Participants will use their very own cookie cutters when they make sugar cookies as a snack. \nThe cost to participate for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child\, maximum $25 per family; for non-members $15 per child\, maximum $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid you know? \n“A tinsmith is a skilled metal worker who manufactures objects out of tinplate. A major advantage of using sheets of tin-plated iron\, as opposed to bare iron\, is that tin does not rust. Over the centuries\, many different names have been used to describe tin workers. In Colonial America\, artisans who worked in tin were called either whitesmiths or tinners. By the 1860s\, the title tinsmith had come into common usage.“ Excerpted from the website of Colonial Williamsburg

SUMMARY:Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:This Month:  Cranberry Tarts \nColonial Americans found native cranberries similar in flavor to the lingonberries with which they had been familiar in Europe\, although they quickly learned that the cranberry required quite a bit of sweetening. In the 18th century\, cranberries were most often preserved or stewed to sweeten them for use in pies. In keeping with the season\, on Saturday\, Nov. 24 from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. the Wilton Historical Society will be holding a Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids\, in which the museum educator will be showing the children how to make a cranberry tart. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards–as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. \nPrevious sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes”\, New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, and dressed macaroni and cheese. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nMembers: $10; non-members $15. Space is limited–please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Cranberries were known by a variety of names\, including bounce berry\, marsh-wort\, fen-wort\, moss-berry\, and fenberry. A few different explanations for the name cranberry exist. The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink states that the word is derived from the Dutch word kranbeer\, while An A to Z of Food and Drink claims the term is German and relates to the long\, beak-like stamens of the plant. The Oxford Companion to Food only notes the “dubious” theory that the name comes from the cranes that like to eat the fruit.” – Kitchen Historic \nAccording to Colonial Williamsburg\, “Ships embarking from New England ports carried cranberries to prevent scurvy\, just as ships leaving tropical ports carried limes. Happily\, for the sailors\, fresh cranberries come naturally coated with a waxy substance that acts as a preservative\, keeping them fresh for weeks—some say up to five months.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society's Ornaments and Tree Traditions Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Today\, evergreen trees decked out in a colorful array of ornaments\, garlands\, shiny glass balls\, all topped by a star\, are a universal sign of the Christmas holiday\, along with cards\, wrapped gifts\, wreaths\, and Santa. According to Emma Powers of Colonial Williamsburg\, “Most of the ways Americans celebrate the midwinter holiday came about in the 19th century… Decorations consisted of whatever natural materials looked attractive at the bleakest time of year–evergreens\, berries\, forced blossoms–and the necessary candles and fires… As for the tree\, it is German in origin. ‘Tannenbaum’ gained acceptance in England and the United States only very slowly. The first written reference to a Christmas tree dates from the 17th century when a candle-lighted tree astonished residents of Strasbourg. I have found nothing recorded in the 18th century about holiday trees in Europe or North America.” \nMuseum educator Laurie Walker will discuss tree traditions and the history of ornaments. A penny rug inspired felt ornament is the workshop project. Snack of pretzels dipped in white chocolate. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Wilton Historical Society members cost is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; non-members cost is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Little House Home Arts\, “Originally penny rugs were made from scraps of dark wool fabric or felt from used clothes and hats and were used as mats to clear mud and dirt off shoes. They were named penny rugs as they were made of three different sized circular medallions layered on top of each other. The top medallion was the size of a penny\, though in the 1800’s pennies were larger than they are now. Sometimes pennies were actually sewn into them to help weight them down and make them lay flat… Eventually penny rugs evolved into a traditional and colorful folk art. Women used their remnants and scraps of wool from making clothes\, or “turned” wool from used clothes to make their penny rugs. They would use bits of material too small to be used for strips for hooked rugs. Designs evolved from the simple circular medallions into colorful works of art with primitive appliquéd patterns of various animals\, stars\, hearts\, flowers and other shapes. Personal and elaborate stories were communicated through them using designs that included people\, their homes\, various scenes and landscapes\, thus transforming their scraps into wonderful works of art and story with elaborate stitching.”

SUMMARY:"A Charlie Brown Christmas" at the Wilton Playshop
DESCRIPTION:A Charlie Brown Christmas\, based upon the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz\, is back by popular demand and will be presented on the Wilton Playshop stage from Dec. 7-9\, 2018. Based on the television special by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson\, this holiday favorite was adapted for the stage by Eric Schaeffer. Jeffrey Spector will direct and Christine Titus will choreograph this stage adaptation of the classic animated television special in which Charlie Brown\, Snoopy\, and the other Peanuts grapple with the real meaning of Christmas. \nWhen Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees during the Christmas season\, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts\, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When his attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas tree fails\, Linus helps him learn the true meaning of Christmas. \nRecommended for children of all ages. Approximate running time is 40 minutes. \nTickets:  $20/adults\, $15/ages 12 and under \nFor more information\, visit the Wilton Playshop website.
