Are you looking for fun as you start working
out in this new year? Gather up a bunch of your friends and play
co-ed volleyball. The park district still has an opening for one
more team, and the start of the season will be delayed by one week
to give you time. The park district also has the names of a few
people who are interested in playing but just don't have enough to
fill a roster. If you are someone in that situation, call the
administrative office between 8 a.m. and 4:30 at 732-8770 or email
info@lincolnparkdistrict.com to have your name added to the
list. It is possible that the sponsor fee could be divided by the
number of names on the roster, making it very inexpensive for
everyone. Games are played on Tuesdays at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. The
costs for this program have been the same for several years.

The park district will offer three art workshops for beginners.
The first in the series will be on Saturday, Jan. 25, for high
school age through adults. Artists will paint a Tuscany landscape.
Enjoy this beginner's art class in painting with acrylics on a
16-by-20-inch canvas. Class will begin at 1 p.m. and is projected to
end by 4 p.m. No experience is required, and all the materials will
be provided for this make-and-take painting. Cost is $35 per person
for district residents and $42 for those living outside the park
district.
The second and third art workshops will be on Sunday, Jan. 26. Up
first, from 1 to 2 p.m., is the session for children in kindergarten
through second grade, and then from 2:30 to 4 p.m. the same day,
lessons will be offered to third-graders through eighth-graders. The
classes are designed for kids to have fun while creating. If you
enjoy drawing and painting, then you'll enjoy the workshop. No
experience is necessary. All the materials will be provided, and all
that the children need to bring is a desire to make some awesome
art. The cost for these workshops is $20/$24.

The workshop instructor will be Jodi Phillips, a local artist who
has been actively painting for 10 years. Her primary focus lies in
acrylics, but she also enjoys watercolors. Her artwork has been on
display in the windows of the former J.C. Penney building, currently
known as O'Donoghue's, and in Horsefeathers in Elkhart. She is also
one of the juried artists who has been displaying and selling at the
Pride of the Prairie Folk Art and Craft Show for many years.
