SUMMARY:Discover Sugar Loaf\, a Mackinac National Park: 150 Event
DESCRIPTION:Join naturalist Kyle Bagnall on a guided walk to explore one of Mackinac Island’s oldest and most iconic rock formations. In August 1894\, Major Clarence Bennet issued a warning to guests of Mackinac National Park – anyone found guilty of defacing Sugar Loaf would be expelled from the park! On this two-mile walk\, we’ll explore the geology and celebrity of this famous attraction\, even uncovering evidence of 19th century vandalism. Meet at the Avenue of Flags\, behind Fort Mackinac for an easy walk of about two miles. #thisismackinac

SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residence Program with Abstract Cartographer Eileen Lyons
DESCRIPTION:This two-hour workshop will introduce participants to the natural power and beauty of water using watercolor paints and inks on paper\, in both a traditional and a non-tradition approach. After a brief slideshow showing watercolor images and basic color theory practice\, participants will learn to choose specific colors to create an image they enjoy. In the first demonstration\, participants will learn to create a quick seascape using a traditional watercolor method. For the second demonstration\, AIR will show how an abstract seascape is created using a non-traditional method by manipulating small amounts of poured paint and/or ink on their paper to direct the flow of diluted pigment allowing participants to experience the spontaneous and organic energy of water in motion. Participants will use masking fluid or other resistant materials to preserve white space and will use salt and/or sand to add texture. Participants will leave the workshop with two small pieces of work. This program will take place in the Station 256 Conference Room\, located above the Mackinac Island State Park Visitor’s Center. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:Lost Rocks & Mackinac Millstones
DESCRIPTION:While limestone formations are famous at Mackinac\, other geological wonders lie hidden underfoot. This week\, special programs highlight the grist mill which once ground grain into flour at Historic Mill Creek. Our millstones were hewn from “lost rocks\,” boulders deposited by glaciers thousands of years ago. Learn what evidence of milling has been found here\, how the process worked\, and what grains were grown at the Straits of Mackinac. Also enjoy a lost rock scavenger hunt along the trails. All special programs included with regular admission. #thisismackinac
