Step into the kitchen with us as we launch our brand-new Chefs on Wheels program, featuring the Charlie Cart mobile kitchen! In this first session, kids will whip up a tasty Three Sisters Sauté while learning about an ancient Iroquois legend and the science of companion planting.
The “Three Sisters” - corn, beans, and squash - have been grown together for centuries because they help each other thrive. Corn provides a tall stalk for beans to climb, beans enrich the soil with nutrients, and squash shades the ground to keep moisture in. Together, they make a powerful team - and a delicious dish!
Along the way, participants will practice kitchen basics like safe knife handling and stove use, gain confidence in their cooking skills, and discover how food, history, and science are all connected. And of course, the best part: enjoying the dish they created themselves!
This program is made possible through the support of the T-Mobile Hometown Grant.

Described as evoking both the spiritual and the deeply human, Between You and Me is an intimate conversation about the distance between people where Svay draws on her experiences as a poet, professor, and pastor to challenge ideas of acceptance, question societal assumptions, and explore intersections of identity.
During this workshop, she will offer insight into her writing process as well as guide participants in creating their own works of poetry. The workshop will include poetry readings, discussion on writing about personal experience in poetic ways, and time for participants to write and share their writing with others if they wish. There will be copies of the book available for purchase and an opportunity to have them signed at the conclusion of the workshop. No prior writing experience is required to attend!
Audri Svay works as the professional writing consultant for the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne, IN where she teaches writing courses as an adjunct English professor. Svay has written for Messenger Magazine (2023), and Brethren Life and Thought (2024), and is the author of the poetry book Between You and Me, published through Brethren Press in June 2025. She has been featured several years as theopoet-in-residence at the local Sing Me Home Festival. Svay is currently working on her PhD in Literature and Criticism through Indiana University of Pennsylvania and was recently awarded Manchester’s University’s "2024 Young Alumni of the Year."

After our discussion, enjoy a playful walk through the Museum’s seasonal mini golf course, which winds through local history exhibits with a haunted twist.

We build structures, they rot, and we build them again.
