Busy week ahead in the county

The Prairie Arts Council next week will be starting up its annual ARTCAMP, a week-long series of community art classes for all ages.

If you have not taken part in one of these programs before, this community effort is one of the summer highlights of Jasper County.

To learn more about it, their website is under construction, but you can always stop in at the Carnegie Center in Rensselaer (the old Rensselaer Library!), call them at 866-5ART or email them at prairie@nwiis.com.

There will also be an art display from the ARTCAMP participants on the center grounds on Saturday, during the Taste of Rensselaer community cook out.

The Carnegie Center is located at 301 N Van Rensselaer St, Rensselaer IN 47978.

And when you're ready for a break, or to grab a book or movie to take home after a busy day, the library is only one block away.

You will also find some library staff this Friday night June 27-28 at the 2008 Jasper and Newton County Relay for Life at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Rensselaer. Our staff members have formed a team, Librarians Against 616.994, and will be doing our part to reach a cure one step at a time.

We hope to see you there.
