SUMMARY:The Battle of Cricket Hill - A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding in the Mathews County area is titled “The Battle of Cricket Hill: A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement.” This exhibit will be launched by the Mathews Archives\, a collaboration between the Mathews County Historical Society and the Mathews Memorial Library. The exhibit will be open from July 1 to August 31.\nThe highlight of the display is an original clipping from the September 24\, 1776\, issue of the Leicester Journal\, a historic newspaper from Leicester\, England. The article details Lord Dunmore’s involvement in the Battle of Gwynn’s Island. This framed item\, displayed between panes of glass\, was a gift from Margaret Jones Perritt of Gloucester in July 1999 and is being showcased for the first time.\nOther components of the exhibit include a panel on Gwynn’s Island\, an account of the battle\, a copy of Thomas Jefferson’s map of the Gwynn’s Island/Milford Haven area\, a DAR artifact\, excerpts from Captain Thomas Posey’s diary detailing his participation in the battle\, and accounts of the battle’s aftermath. Additional materials related to the American Revolutionary War are also part of the exhibit\, which is located on the balcony of the library’s second floor.

SUMMARY:Klingel Aquascope Exhibit  To Open at Mathews Museum
DESCRIPTION:Klingel Aquascope Exhibit to Open at Mathews Museum\n“100 Hours beneath the Chesapeake”\nKlingel Aquascope Exhibit To Open at Mathews Museum\nThe Mathews Museum is set to welcome a new “resident\,” maritime explorer Gilbert Klingel’s underwater 3\,000-pound\, large yellow “Aquascope.” After years of residing at the Calvert Marine Museum in Maryland\, and through the efforts of Mathews Museum Board Chair Tom Robinson\, the Museum was able to negotiate a permanent home for the Aquascope. \nThis nationally significant exhibit\, originally the subject of a major pictorial article in National Geographic magazine and an award-winning PBS documentary\, will be unveiled at a “Members Only” private reception on Thursday\, August 27. A public opening will follow on Saturday\, August 29. \nThe Aquascope is an elongated large metal structure designed to allow two people to lie down and view the depths down to 100 feet through a large window. In 1952\, the National Geographic Society commissioned Klingel to design and build a two-man submersible for a 1954 underwater exploration of the Chesapeake Bay. Afterwards\, he wrote a 16-page article for National Geographic\, accompanied by color photographs taken by staff photographer Willard Culver. As a pioneering Chesapeake naturalist\, Klingel gained widespread recognition\, taking people to places they had never seen before. \nIn May of last year\, upon hearing about the arrival of the Aquascope\, a team of filmmakers\, scientists\, and divers from the National Geographic Explorers Club gathered in Mathews to recreate Klingel’s 1954 Chesapeake Bay exploration. Adding to the excitement\, this same team of filmmakers\, scientists\, and divers from the National Geographic Explorers Club are planning to attend the opening events alongside local community members and descendants of Klingel’s legacy. \n“The Explorers Club plans to attend the grand opening of the exhibit\, amid additional TV and newspaper coverage\,” notes Robinson. “We will be working diligently with other members of the Mathews community to provide access to this man and his legacy. Gilbert Klingel was one of the most remarkable men to have ever lived in Mathews County. Boat builder\, author\, explorer\, naturalist\, metallurgist\, photographer\, inventor\, sailor… he did it all. He was a real renaissance man. Although known by only a handful of Mathews residents\, Klingel was revered around the world for his contributions to society.” \nVisit www.mathewsmuseum.org for up-to-date details.

SUMMARY:Concerts by the Bay - Good Shot Judy
DESCRIPTION:Sound. Energy. Swagger. All these arrive onstage when Good Shot Judy shows up. Grounded in the swinging cadence of the big band era\, Good Shot Judy boldly ventures wherever whimsy leads them. The big amp jazz band brings melodic muscle to every show\, fueled by revelers young and old who eagerly follow them on an exhilarating ride through this golden age of music.\nA Good Shot Judy show offers all those tunes you know just from growing up in America – songs you can at least hum along to\, if you don’t outright know most of the words. But the music itself is only part of the band’s allure; there’s something electric in the execution\, and it’s that vigor that carries the day as much as the pull of recognition. \n

SUMMARY:Concerts by the Bay - Andrew Knight & Beyond Borders
DESCRIPTION:Andrew McKnight & Beyond Borders blends his charming tenor voice and acoustic and electric guitars in a frequently shifting mix of banjo\, mandolin\, upright bass\, drums\, and percussion. Valuing the artistry of taut arrangements over flashy instrumental jams\, Andrew and Les along with Stephanie Thompson and Lisa Taylor have earned acclaim for their exquisite 3- and 4-part vocal harmonies as well as the unusual and constantly changing combinations of instruments. Their eclectic arrangements of Andrew’s songs and their collaborative creations fuse old-time influences\, roots rock sounds\, and an assimilation of many stylistic elements that truly stretch “beyond Appalachian\, beyond blues\, beyond folk”.\nThis performance is partially supported by funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. \n
