"Unearthing Ohio's Coal Mining Legacy" with Sam Bennett

Join host Sam Bennett on October 10th at 6:00 PM in this engaging Q&A-style program as he delves into the rich and rugged history of coal mining in Ohio and Coshocton County. A former miner, Bennett is dedicated to keeping the history of coal mining alive and well; in 2013 he began raising money for the Coal Miners Memorial that is now located on the Court House Square in Coshocton. Attendees are encouraged to bring coal mining stories and items of their own to share, from their own experience with coal, family stories, and more. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, this session offers an insightful look into one of Ohio’s most pivotal industries.

Admission to this program is free thanks to the support of the Ohio Arts Council, which helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence, and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

Qigong Classes at JHM, Instructed by Holli Rainwater

***CURRENTLY ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

Want a good way to shake off those mid-week blues, already feeling the dreary winter season setting in, or just want a fun, relaxing way to get moving? Why not spend an hour with Holli Rainwater and a session of Qigong at the museum, every Wednesday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 AM!

Qigong (pronounced 'chee gong') is an ancient Chinese health care system that combines gentle body movements, breath practice, and deep relaxation. We will use the Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi form as our core practice. This is a very "user friendly" form with many benefits for both the beginner and more seasoned practitioner.

This class is free of charge and no prior experience is necessary. Wear comfortable clothing and lightweight shoes. Qigong is very gentle and relaxing and does not require getting down on the floor. Holli Rainwater will lead the class, who has been studying and teaching Qigong since 2004 and is certified as a Tai Chi Easy practice leader. This program is made possible by the support of the Joe R. Engle Museum Gallery Fund of the Coshocton Foundation.
