2024-06-08 09:00 - 12:30 (America/Chicago) | Thoreau College Campus, 224 Wisconsin 56, Viroqua, 54665, United States
The scythe is a wonderfully efficient tool for the farmer, homesteader, and homeowner alike. It can be used for mowing hay, harvesting grains, maintaining hard to cut areas around trees and fences, or even mowing the lawn. Come learn about getting the right scythe blade for your situation, proper snath (handle) fit, sharpening, and mowing technique. Bring your scythe if you have one. There will be some loaners available for the class. Note: this class will not cover “American-style” scythes.
Instructions: Dress to be outside, and bring your scythe and any sharpening equipment you have.

Gem & Fossil Event - Second Nature at Reads Creek Nursery

OUR BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR!! Join us at the nursery to go on a journey through time, as you learn about the rocks and fossils found in the Driftless Area, and where you can find them. We will have three separate expeditions at 10am, noon and 2pm, along with ongoing activities at the nursery throughout the day.
FUN FOR ALL: Here are the things to do at no cost:
View a trilobite collection, and a collection of fossils from the Driftless Area
Redlou Bus will be here with all sorts of books on rocks, fossils, gems, and other related topics that you can check out
We will be having flint knapping demonstrations on site from 10 am to 4 pm, and these amazing stone artists will also have unique items for sale
There will be a large display of fossils and rocks mostly from Vernon and Crawford Counties
PAID EXPEDITION HIGHLIGHTS $15 (kids under 4 are free)
In addition to the above activities, the highlight of the day will be three fun and educational expeditions. Retired geologist Al Scheer will be having mini lesson on trilobites to start the expedition, where participants can see fossils up close and ask questions. On a second stop along the expedition, our flint knappers will explain the process for stone selection and how they create arrowheads. Then Clint will give a presentation on druzy quartz and the fossils that can be found in the Driftless Region, and he will lead us on an onsite fossil and druzy quartz hike.
Participants can ask questions about fossil hunting in the Driftless and learn more about druzy quartz. After all of that excitement, there will be gem mining on the beach after the hike is done. (We will be seeding the beach between classes with an incredible collection of semiprecious gems and stones). Paid participants will go home whatever gems they find, a few rocks or fossils they can find along the way in Druzy Valley, and the satisfied glow of time spent exploring and learning in our beautiful valley.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING FOR EXPEDITIONS
Wear clothing that can get wet and/or dirty as we will be going into the water to pan for gems, and hiking across shallow creek areas
Rubber boots or water shoes are a good option for footwear
A good expedition hat for sun protection might be beneficial
Bug spray and sunscreen
Water bottles with your names on them
Beach towel
A dry set of clothes for the ride home would be a good idea, especially for excited adventure seekers
A gallon ziploc for small treasures and a backpack or bag for your personal belongings
Cash for small purchases
Optional and fun: expedition hat or vest—because it’s always fun to look the part!
**Portions of the hike will be uneven and rocky, and there will be a few steep, rocky steps you may wish to climb, so please plan accordingly. Some participants bring a walking stick along.
Available for purchase:
For a little extra bling, we will have face painting available for a small fee
A Kindness Rocks painting table will be available for a small donation to the koi fish food fund

4th Annual Driftless Region's Dia de Muertos Celebration - A Mexican Cultural and Educational Event

Driftless Curiosity and the Mexican Folk Art Collective will co-host the 4th Annual Driftless Region’s Día de Muertos Celebration: A Mexican Cultural and Educational Event at Keewaydin Farms (15270 Haucke Ln, Viola, WI) on Saturday, October 5th, 2024, from 2:00 PM – 7:00 pm. Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is one of the most important traditions in Mexico. The festivity commemorates deceased loved ones by honoring and remembering them through ofrendas or altars decorated with traditional elements and items that represent those who have passed on to welcome them and guide their souls on their journey back home. This is a free outdoor event offering modalities to celebrate and learn including engagement in Mexican folk art, traditions, food and community. A collective Día de Muertos ofrenda is constructed during the event. This year, the ofrenda will honor those who have worked in the food system, including farmers, food workers, chefs, food system activists, and everyone in between who spent their life in service to the beautiful work of feeding people. We invite attendees to honor the beloved people in their lives who have passed away by bringing a photo, food, or other meaningful item to place on the community ofrenda. For the first time, we are organizing a Mexican culinary experience including traditional Dia de Muertos dishes such as pan de muerto, atole, chocolate, rice and mole, tamales, organic and nixtamalized tortillas, calabaza en tacha, and aguas frescas. We are collaborating with Mexican chefs from around Wisconsin who will prepare a Dia de Muertos featured dish for attendees to sample (for purchase). In Mexico, food is an important part of the culture and therefore, of the Day of the Dead celebration. Food helps us to remember our loved ones.
There will be Mexican folk art and food for sale throughout the event.
No pets allowed. Camping available. Contact joy@driftlesscuriosity.org to register for a camping site.
