The Once Upon A Time program is once again available now through October 28th, 2010 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for grade 4 students. Dressed in Medieval costumes, students will participate in an interactive and hands-on program highlighting skills of Medieval life. Costumed Museum staff and volunteers lead the hands-on, medieval themed activities, such as creating brass rubbings, participating in calligraphy, making chain mail and coins, discovering medieval artifacts, and designing catapults.
Port Elgin Rotary Club President Mark Kraemer gives cheque to Cathy McGirr – Business Manager, BCM&CC A medieval lunch is also an important component of the program. This optional monastery-style meal is eaten with the hands, as was common in Medieval times, while the students listen to medieval music and to a presentation on the origins of some of our nursery rhymes, common phrases (i.e. threshold), and superstitions. In true monastery fashion, no talking is allowed throughout the meal of potato-based soup in a bread bowl, chicken drumsticks, and oatmeal cookies. The BCM&CC is appreciative of all sponsorships – because they allow us to offer continued quality programming for adults and kids alike. In this particular case, the sponsoring of our medieval lunches (through a $1000 donation) the Port Elgin Rotary Club will allow us to bring down the cost of the event and ultimately make it affordable for more students to participate.
