From indoor activities such as knitting and playing dominoes to outdoor pursuits like fishing and sports, hobbies engage the mind and body in ways that emphasize the leisure of life. This summer, children ages 8-12 are invited to join the Sam Rayburn House for an exploration of hobbies that the Rayburn family enjoyed as well as hobbies featuring life-skills that can lead to possible careers and the desire to volunteer. Children will learn how people spent their time without the technology of today through hands-on lessons and listening to guest presenters. The Sam Rayburn House will provide all supplies. Special presenters including the Fannin County Master Gardeners and Bonham State Park will speak on certain program days. The deadline to register for this program is June 13.
