"American Spirit Day" Our annual Kidsfest will be held on Saturday, August 10, from 10a.m. until 2 p.m. This year’s event will feature four full hours of activities and entertainment with a patriotic theme. 
Each year Kidsfest offers over a dozen hands-on activities for children of all ages. This year’s event will offer a chance to make such crafts as patriotic pinwheels, fireworks paintings and a star whirler. Kids can make their own star stamp to use and take home - and, if you bring a white t-shirt with you to the event, you can use your stamp to decorate it while you are here! We will also make traditional crafts from American history such as a wallpaper box, spatterwork picture, shadow puppet and much more. There will also be a games and play area where a games leader will be available to teach children some traditional early American games. We will have stilts available for kids to try, and, of course, the bubble pool will be back. There will also be entertainment for the kids during the festival. Plan to come early and take advantage of all the crafts and shows.

The Women’s Service League of Ashtabula County, Inc., has awarded scholarships to four Ashtabula Arts Center drama students. These scholarships are in the amount of $200 each, and are to be used by the students toward college tuition and expenses this fall. Scholarships this year have been given to Grand Valley High School graduates Stephanie Figer, Ben Gates and Kim Weston, and Lakeside High School graduate Phillip Werman. Stephanie Figer has been involved in theater since the seventh grade. While she has only been performing at the Arts Center for about a year, she has been active in other area theatrical organizations, including the Grand Valley Little Theatre, and the Geauga Lyric Theater Guild. She also performed in productions at Grand Valley High School. Stephanie will study theatre education at Point Park College in Pittsburgh, PA, in the fall.
