Reddick Mansion to participate in Blue Star Museums program OTTAWA — The Reddick Mansion will again offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families this summer as part of the Blue Star Museums program.

Blue Star Museums is a collaboration of the National Endowments for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and more that 1,800 museums across America to offer free admission to all military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day, 2015.

Blue Star Families is a

national, nonprofit network of military families from all ranks and services, including guard and reserve, dedicated to supporting, connecting, and empowering military families. The complete list of participating museums is available at www.arts.gov/ bluestarmuseums.

According to Diane Sanders, president of the Reddick Mansion Association, “The Reddick Mansion is proud to be part of the Blue Star Museums program. We appreciate the opportunity to thank our military families for their service and share

with them one of Ottawa’s and Illinois’ cultural treasures. During the last two years, we have had several veterans and their families tour the Mansion as part of this program and we are hoping for even more participants this year.”

The Reddick Mansion, built in 1858, is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and is open for tours six days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed on Tuesdays). The Mansion, at 100 W. Lafayette St., Ottawa, also has meeting/reception rooms available for rent for special events.

Reddick Mansion Association announces docent training seminar OTTAWA — The Reddick Mansion Association invites anyone interested in becoming a docent (tour guide) at the mansion to an afternoon seminar at 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 7.

Led by Lorraine McCallister, docent committee chair, this one and onehalf to two hour session will include a discussion about the responsibili-

ties of a docent and an in-depth tour of the mansion. Information packets will be provided as well as the opportunity to schedule more one-on-one training.

“Visitors to the mansion usually have an interest in history, in old homes or in architecture,” McCallister said. “I enjoy sharing the Reddick Mansion story with them.”

Last year, almost 5,400 people, representing 38 states and four foreign countries, visited the mansion for tours and events.

Ron Gavin will perform at the Ladd 125th anniversary celebration in the hospitality tent from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 11.

Ron Gavin will perform in Ladd LADD — Ron Gavin, an Irish balladeer, will perform from 7 to 9 p.m.

Saturday, July 11, in the hospitality tent during the Ladd 125th anniversary celebration.

Gavin performed across the United States and in Ireland, including the Felon’s Club in West Belfast, the Village Inn in Derry, the Hibernian Inn in Tipperary and for a former

Irish Prime Minister. He is regular at the International Irish Music Awards and Irish Fests around the Midwest. His strong clear voice is equally suited to a rousing rebel anthem, sea shanty, tender love song or pub ballad. Come see his tribute to the early Irish and other miners that clawed an existence from under the Illinois prairie.

Coming to Ladd will be a long overdue homecoming as his grandfather lived in Ladd as a boy with his uncle, Tobias Barry.

Other uncles and cousins were also miners at Ladd. Gavin’s ancestors left Ireland at the time of the Great Famine and became coal miners in England before immigrating to Bureau County in the mid 1880s.

is open six days a week for tours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed on Tuesdays). Typical shifts are three to four hours and could be shared.

Interested persons are asked to contact the mansion by calling 915433-6100 and speaking with Lorraine or Diane to ask any questions and to reserve their spot at the seminar.

Built in 1858, the Reddick Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and also has meeting/reception rooms available for rent for special events.

LADD — The Ladd Public Library is considering starting a Book Buddies program which would match younger children (6-9 year olds) with an older child (11-14 year olds) and would consist of the “buddies” meeting at the library and reading together for a pre-determined amount of time.

The idea is to form a type of mentoring program where the older children help the younger children to keep reading all summer long and possibly continue into the next school year. The success and feasibility of this program would depend on the number of children, both younger and older who would sign up for the program.

Let the librarians know if you’re interested in this program.

Readers complete the reading and may enter a free drawing for each genre. Once one book in each genre has been completed, the reader

may enter a grand prize raffle. The winner will take home a Kindle Fire.
