Calistoga, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2015
With longer days and shorter nights, everyone needs some fun and adventure to fill their summer days with. Sharpsteen Museum took the responsibility of keeping kids looking forward to Thursdays and Saturdays all summer long with their new activities planned.
Sharpsteen Museum is starting up Summer Events for Kids at the Calistoga Branch, with events being hosted at either the museum or the Calistoga Library. Every summer event is free of charge and is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Calistoga Library Summer Events:
Even though the kids are out of school, it’s a good idea to keep them reading all season long. Calistoga Library hosts Family Storytime at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday from June 9 – July 21 and Bow Wow for Books — inviting kids to read to a dog — from 3:30-5 p.m. on the second Wednesday of every month.
This summer’s Saturday Games & Crafternoons feature a few different crafts that kids can get their hands into.
Table-Top Gaming – Bring your favorite board game or share with us from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on June 6.
Flags for Juneteenth – Make your own flag at 11 a.m. on June 13.
Pinwheels for Summer – Cool off from the summer heat with this fun craft at 11 a.m. on July 11.

About Sharpsteen Museum:
The Sharpsteen Museum's permanent exhibits are designed to present the history of the upper Napa Valley from its pre-history to post-World War I with an emphasis on people and changes brought by the period of U.S. emigration and development.
In addition to its many historical exhibits, the museum uses unique and extraordinarily extensive dioramas to depict Calistoga during its period as the elegant 1860s Hot Springs resort developed by pioneer, promoter, publisher, entrepreneur and California's first millionaire, Sam Brannan. Sharpsteen Museum has special exhibits which change twice a year, every six months, and reflect the varied interests of the people of the Valley. They have ranged from antique silverware to model ships to historical musical instruments.
