‘Tinkerfest’ Highlights the Weekend in Hot Springs

            It feels like spring has finally arrived, which means lots of exciting possibilities for fun in Hot Springs. This weekend on April 5 during the day, Mid-America Museum hosts “Tinkerfest” from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Museum.

“Tinkerfest” is all about teaching the art of tinkering to students and families. The website states: “Tinkering focused activity with the right materials in the right environment can lead to great new inventions, but more importantly builds self-confidence, critical thinking skills and crucial attitudes that build people’s interest in science, technology, engineering and math.” Sounds like a great family activity at Mid-America Museum.

Some of the activities for “Tinkerfest” include collectively making a mixed media mini city, experimenting with making paper circuits, constructing rip-snorting roller coasters from Keva planks and enjoying hands-on activities at more than 12 stations throughout the museum. For more information go to midamericamuseum.org or call 501.767.3461.

If you and your family aren’t tuckered out after “Tinkerfest,” two music events will take place in the evening. Help the Homeless Benefit Concert is at 8 p.m., April 5 at Low Key Arts. Call 501.655.4064 for more information. Also, Lakeside High School jazz students will have an inaugural Lakeside Jazz Spring Swing at the middle school. Call 501.262.1530 for more information.

            Saturday offers so many fun activities for students and families. Our children and families are always a focus at Diamondhead where our children attend the finest schools in Hot Springs including Lakeside, Magnet Cove and Malvern school districts.
