Space Park 30 Infinity is an immersive entertainment show for full-dome theaters — an amusement park with its rides placed throughout the solar system. It’s an “E Ticket Ride” of astronomical proportions. SpacePark360: Infinity will be an unforgettable treat for audiences of all ages.

Join the Colby College Museum of Art at the Paul J. Schupf Art Center, 93 Main Street, for an art-making activity, games, and music, as part of the monthly First Friday offerings across downtown Waterville.

From 4–6 pm, gather with Tessa Greene O’Brien, the Lunder Institute resident fellow who created the Fields Alive with Pollen + Wings mural in the Hub at the Paul J. Schupf Art Center. We’ll use the same design process that Tessa used to create this 30-foot-tall work of art—adding our own drawings of local flora (plants) and fauna (animals), creatures from our imagination, or colorful geometric shapes to Tessa’s original sketches. The creation of this large collaborative artwork will be fun for all ages.

In addition to these activities, there will be more First Friday Downtown Waterville experiences happening with Waterville Creates, The Colby Arts Office at the Greene Block + Studios, The Center for Book & Print, and a host of downtown businesses.

First Fridays celebrate the vibrant creativity of Waterville by inviting people downtown to engage in multidisciplinary arts experiences. On the first Friday of every month, visit downtown Waterville to meet artists, participate in workshops, listen to live music, eat delicious local food, and come together as a community.

$2 Community Yoga in Surry
If regular yoga classes are a bit out of your price range, you have trouble finding the motivation to practice alone, or you have been curious to try out yoga for the first time, come and try Community Yoga at The Gatherings in Surry.
These casual classes happen in person every Monday evening at 5.30pm and every Saturday morning at 9am.
Attendees will decide on what style of yoga to do together for the hour, and then stream a class using the big screen. The Gatherings is grateful that Glo Yoga (glo.com) has generously donated access to 1000s of classes via their online platform, which allows us to stream many different yoga styles by certified teachers. We may do Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, Restorative, Iyengar, Yin Yoga, and more.
After class, for those who want to, there will be time to ask questions about poses, help each other out, or share tips and stretches we've been enjoying.
These classes will be mostly beginner to intermediate levels, and are open to all ages. There are mats available, stretchy clothes are recommended, and there is a separate unattended playroom for children if needed. $2 per person goes to the community center.
The Gatherings is located at 1208 Surry Rd, Surry. For more information contact community@surrygatherings.org, call 207 385 7694 or visit www.surrygatherings.org

A whirlwind time travel adventure back to the epoch of the dinosaurs

We have to tell you that we've been waiting aeons to announce that we have a full dome, computer animated dinosaurs show! A larger than life extravaganza rife with roaring monsters from the ancient age: bounding, stomping, flying, hunting, and foraging frenetically above us.

Well, by heavens, now we can tell the world that the dinosaurs have arrived at the Southworth Planetarium!

Propel yourself back through the epochs toexplore an Earth teeming with Pteradons, Triceratrops and, of course, the ferocious -and therefore wonderfully marketable- T-Rex!
