Lola Gillette and the Summer of Second Chances
Calling all young inventors and artists! Join us for a fun, innovative, hands-on workshop inspired by the creative spirit of William Gillette and the new middle-grade novel Lola Gillette and the Summer of Second Chances. Attendees are invited to help re-imagine the castle’s famous 47 doors. Author Kimberly Behre Kenna will guide children as they design and build secret cardboard doors that blend into a wall and open with latches, levers, and sliders. Explore what might be waiting behind the next door…if you can figure out how to open it!
Recommended ages: 8-14 but kids of all ages are welcome. Open to 25 participants, parents are welcome to stay and join in the fun. Books signed by the author will be available for purchase and all proceeds go to the Friends of Gillette Castle State Park.
Registration to this free event is required. Register here to reserve a spot!
