"The Larchmont Remembered" Presentation with Daniel Harrington
Wednesday, January 22 at 1:00 p.m. (IN-PERSON)
Join Daniel F. Harrington for a presentation that tells the tale of the night the Larchmont, a wooden, side-wheel steamship, collided with the Harry Knowlton, a three-masted schooner, just off Block Island in zero-degree weather.
The presentation covers the story of the ship, its crew, the passengers and the unbelievable stories of survival, panic, murder and, yes, miracles, using digitally restored photos and eyewitness accounts.

This event will be held in Community Rooms AB.

Amanda B's subjects include all animals, but primarily birds with chickens being her favorite. Having 8 of them is wonderful inspiration, and seeing their little quirks helps her come up with fun stories about them. She alse plans on releasing a few children's books on her chooks in the future.
Her main mediums are watercolor and gouache, but she also likes to add pastel and colored pencil to the mix. She also works with embroidery from time to time.
Amanda's art will be on display in the front lobby of Centerville Public Library for the month of January with pieces available for purchase. A portion of sales benefit the library.
