Searching For The Whey

The David M. Hunt Library will host local writer and photographer Babs Perkins on Saturday, November 15th at 2pm for “In Search of the Whey: Tracking down a Balkan cheese on the verge of extinction and why it matters to us in NWCT.” Perkins has spent over 12 years traveling across Bosnia & Hercegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia seeking out traditional food producers, including beekeepers, shepherds, wine and cheese makers, most specifically the remaining producers of the cheese know as Sir iz Mijeha/Mješine/Mišine (depending on the country/language spoken). Babs combines her photographs with extensive ethnographic field research and works with local producers and organizers in Hercegovina to help them better tell their stories and advocate on their own behalf for recognition and resources in hopes of ensuring a future for the producers and the very product itself. Babs will have samples of this rare cheese on hand to share with us after the event.

Digital Safety For Youth

On Thursday, November 20th at 7 pm Project Sage will present “Digital Safety for Youth: What Parents Should Be Talking About” at the library. Stranger danger is nothing new – but online gaming and social media have brought strangers into the home in the guise of peers and friends. With platforms changing constantly and new apps appearing every day, how can adults keep their kids safe from online exploitation? This interactive, 90-minute workshop designed for parents and caregivers of teens and tweens provides a foundation for talking with youth about online safety, including online stranger danger, cyberbullying, artificial intelligence, and more. This will be a safe space for adult participants to practice having the often uncomfortable conversations that can make all the difference in the life of a child who has been targeted for exploitation.

New Milford Carol Sing

Grab your hats, mittens, and some holiday spirit, for New Milford Commission on the Arts Annual Carol Sing, Saturday, December 13 at 6:30 PM, on the Town Green.

A tradition that began in 1977, under the direction of band leader Skitch Henderson, the Carol Sing takes place around New Milford’s bandstand, complete with songbooks, luminaries, and of course, plenty of holiday tunes.

This year’s Carol Sing will be led by local vocalist Nancy Reid, who has been singing on stage since the age of 13 and has embraced music as a lifelong passion. Reid spent five years as part of the Faith Church worship team and two years at Walnut Hill, where she developed as both a vocalist and performer. With a deep love for singing, Nancy brings her passion and energy to every audience she meets.
Immediately following the Carol Sing is Water Witch’s beloved and much-anticipated Parade of Lights.

Fill the night with music, laughter, and a whole lot of cheer. Bring friends, family, and anyone who loves the magic of the season!
