You might be surrounded by it every winter, but have you ever taken a closer look at the snow and ice? Learn more about how it is formed and its unique structure from the smallest snowflake to the largest snow bank.
Delve deeper with some snow experiments to figure out how snowflakes form and learn how snowbanks can help animals survive the winter during an indoor lesson. Then, if the weather allows, dig right into the snowbanks themselves outside to look closely at individual snowflakes and tunnel down through the snow layers.
A snack is provided after the hike and a craft is offered if there is time.
Special Information: This program takes place rain or shine, please dress for the weather.
Snow and ice are two common winter sights, but they form in different ways. Learn more about snow and ice at ACNC’s Little Explorers on January 10.

Join us in peaceful protest on Saturday from 11-2 at Dow Park in Jamestown.
What happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday was not a tragic misunderstanding. It was a murder! Renee Nicole Good was murdered by an ICE agent in broad daylight.We are witnessing the normalization of a police state, one where chaos is manufactured, due process is eroded, and violence is sanctioned under the guise of “enforcement.” This killing wascarried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency that is creating instability, trauma, and death.
We will be peacefully protesting as a part of a nationwide day of mobilization on Saturday from 11-2 at Dow Park in Jamestown. Bring your signs, bring your instruments and noise makers, bring your voices, and even bring a bag of SALT!!! We must be loud and large to let our community and the nation know that we support our local immigrant community and will not wait for the horrific events from Minneapolis to happen in our own community.

Live at the Met: I Puritani
2026-01-10 13:00 - 16:00 | The 1891 Fredonia Opera House, 9 Church St., Fredonia, 14063, United States
For gorgeous melody, spellbinding coloratura, and virtuoso vocal fireworks, I Puritani has few equals.
For the first new Met production of Vincenzo Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years – a striking staging by Charles Edwards, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer – the Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars, conducted by Marco Armiliato, for the demanding principal roles.
Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War, with baritone Artur Ruciński as Riccardo, betrothed to Elvira against her will, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira’s sympathetic uncle, Giorgio.
The Met: Live in HD is the Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Award–winning series of opera performances transmitted live from the stage of the Met in New York into movie theaters and event spaces worldwide. The series has made the Met the world’s leading provider of alternative cinema content and the only arts institution with an ongoing global series of this scale. When the series launched in 2006, the Met was the first arts company to experiment this way. Since then, the program has expanded, with more than 32 million tickets sold to date, and has been seen in virtually every important world capital from Paris to Cairo, as well as in towns and villages spread across six continents.
Part of Arts in the Afternoon, which is sponsored by Dr. James M. & Marcia Merrins, Live at the Met is underwritten with support from Daniel S. Kaufman and Timothy W. Beaver

The Diary of Anne Frank - Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown
2026-01-12 14:00 - 16:00 | Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, 18 East 2nd St, Jamestown, 14701, United States
“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

This February, we invite you to join Anne Frank and her family inside the Secret Annex, where the rules are simple and unforgiving. Stay quiet. Stay small. Avoid attention.
The Diary of Anne Frank follows eight Jewish people forced into hiding as persecution intensifies, legal protections disappear, and simply existing becomes a threat to their very survival. In close quarters, fear, hope, and tension live side by side, and safety is never guaranteed.
This story endures because it is not only a record of the past, but a reminder of what can happen when fear is allowed to decide who belongs.
Showtimes:
Feb 6th, 7th, 13th & 14th @ 7PM
Feb 8th & 12th @ 2PM

Tickets are on sale now:

No experience needed, just come as you are and move at your own pace. There will be gentle music playing during the class.
Andrea DiMaio is a 500-hour trained yoga teacher with specialized training in accessible and inclusive yoga practices, including Yoga For All™ and Accessible Yoga™. She teaches with simple, clear instructions and always offers multiple options so everyone can participate comfortably, regardless of mobility, flexibility, or experience.

When she is not teaching a yoga class, Andrea leads body-positive outdoor activities through her group Ample Movement and guides plus-size adventure travel with Whoa Travel.
