Wanted: young men and women who are interested in the building of a 1929 Model A Speedster. You have to be between the ages of 13 and 16, enrolled in a local school, and are willing to give up two Saturdays a month. Work on the project for 8 hours per day, 6 ½ hours work with a lunch hour and cleanup time. You will learn how to apply your math and science skills to a practical situation. You will get dirty, form a team, learn how to work with your hands, learn the history of the automobile, work with metal and wood, set valid goals, and learn from a wide variety of mentors, both young and old.

Children of all ages are invited to come to the National Bottle Museum on Milton Avenue in Ballston Spa from 1- 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 4 when nationally published book illustrator Jody Wheeler will present a special program for young readers and their families.

The village native said she is looking forward to reading from a copy of “The Night Before Christmas” that she illustrated for Ideals Publishing before signing books for children and their families. An exhibit showcasing her artistic creations will also be presented in The Jan Rutland Artists’ Space on the museum’s second floor from Thanksgiving until January 7.

Kids crave two things: food and fun. So what could be more appealing than a party that offers both in supersize portions? Below you'll find everything you need to help your kids throw their very first dinner party (OK, lunch party). Ideal for a special birthday celebration or neighborhood get-together, our bash features lasagna that kids can custom-make (and eat!) and our Adorable Apron Cake for dessert. And because a party does not live by food alone, we've also come up with an impressive menu of food-themed crafts and games. The result? When FamilyFun magazine invited a group of apprentice chefs to give the party a test run, the response was unanimous: this party cooks!
