Family Fun Day Museum of the Gulf Coast

BIG FUN In the early 1900s, America was a land of splendor and the unknown, or not quite known. New species and backwoods locales were still being discovered and shared with the rest of the nation.

One popular activity for turn of the century Americans was exchanging “Tall Tale” postcards that portrayed a town or region as having the biggest fish, the largest watermelon, or a crazy new animal like the “bass cat”, reported to be half bass and half bobcat.

The postcards relied on creative artists and photographers to capture a truly larger than life scene- a single ear of corn that fills a farm wagon, a fish so large it needs its own train car, a rabbit the size of a large pony. In many ways, these tall tale postcards were the predecessor of much of what we see on the internet today- carefully altered pictures that look just a little too over the top to be real.

Tall Tales are part of the heritage of our nation, John Henry, Paul Bunyon, and Johnny Appleseed. Visit the Museum of the Gulf Coast Free Family Fun Day to see over 80 examples and to enjoy: A wonderful professional story teller

A free screening of Disney‛s Tall Tales A professional illustrator will be on hand to help you create your own tall tales.

There will be fun kids crafts and games for all.

Saturday September 6th 10a – 2p 700 Procter Port Arthur Tx. 77640.

St. Andrew’s Day School

Are you interested in placing your child into a nurturing Christian environment? St. Andrews is a wonderful school for children12 months – 4 years.

The Day School is self-sustaining but under the umbrella of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

All tuition and other fees are used to provide staff salaries, equipment and supplies. St. Andrew’s Day School is fully licensed by the State of Texas. The St. Andrew’s teacher to child ratio is kept low, well below the minimum standards for child care.

Classes are five days a week, nine months a year. The Beaumont Independent School District schedule is followed both for holidays and school days cancelled due to weather conditions.

Independence and the ability to learning through discovery are both major goals for each child. Play is a primary vehicle for learning. Children learn by doing, therefore, many active learning opportunities are provided via thematic units. St. Andrews uses resources from the Mailbox Curriculum, Frog Street Press, Quirkles, Steve Spangler Science, Creations Bible Stories, Bible Stories About Jesus and Teaching Memory Verses.

Classes focus on science, cooking, motor skills, math, art, reading readiness, and writing skills.

In addition to regular classroom activities, St. Andrews students receive music, computer, introduction to fine art, Spanish and chapel. The purpose of St. Andrew's Day School is to help your child learn in a happy, Christian atmosphere, and to grow in these ways: Emotionally to learn to manage tension and hostility in an acceptable manner and feel accepted by his teachers and peers.

Socially

“Escape to Sour Lake Ford for a Mommy Mobile with More” The Ford Escape is winning impressive reviews from Moms for providing a great mix of “Need” and “Want”. First off, women overwhelmingly praise the Ford Escape as “fun to drive.” As moms, we spend so much time in our cars – dropping kids at school, heading to work, running errands, picking kids up from school, soccer practice, music practice, and getting everyone home in time to do it all again tomorrow. An SUV being truly fun to drive can really affect our entire outlook on the day.

Next is the category lots of car reviewers lead with, particularly when writing for women- the styling. We felt the drivability

175 Texas 105 Sour Lake, Tx 77659 409.287.3583

was more important for our SETX Moms, so we started there, but there is no getting around it- this is a good looking SUV. It has a lot of the space and features we associate with mini-vans, but the look and fun of a sporty SUV. Finally, the Ford Escape has great technology: • Bluetooth • USB Port • Ford’s Sync with My Ford system, which allows you to use voice commands to control a connected smart phone- great for moms that need to keep both hands on the wheel.

Like what you see?

Test drive a brand new Ford Escape at Sour Lake Ford.

Great selection, great pricing, great service.
