It's Farmers Market Week at the Art Center! Be sure to stop by this Saturday, September 5, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Vendors will be set up INSIDE and OUTSIDE the center.

Get ready for ringing anvils, cannon fire, Old West gun fights, live music, historic demonstrations, and plenty of hands-on history at Frontier Village & Museum’s Fall Living History Days. On three special Saturdays this fall, the Village will come alive with re-enactors, craftsmen, traditional skills, and activities that give visitors a chance to experience history beyond the pages of a book. Wander through the historic grounds, visit the buildings, talk with interpreters, and see how people once worked, created, and entertained themselves.

Technology has become an important part of everyday life for young people. Students use laptops for school, phones to communicate with friends and family, and screens for entertainment. While technology can be useful, spending too much time on screens can make it harder for young people to focus on other important parts of life. A group of North Texas students recognized this issue and created Descreened, a student-led nonprofit that encourages healthier and more intentional relationships with technology.

1939 – World War II: France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia declare war on Germany after the invasion of Poland, forming the Allied nations. The Viceroy of India also declares war, but without consulting the provincial legislatures. World War II, or the Second World War (1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945), was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies and the Axis powers. Nearly all of the world's countries participated, with many engaging in total war on an unprecedented scale. World War II was the deadliest conflict in history, causing the deaths of 60 to 75 million people, a majority of whom were civilians. Millions died as a result of massacres, starvation, disease, and genocides including the Holocaust. After the Allied victory, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea were occupied, and German and Japanese leaders were tried for war crimes. The causes of World War II included unresolved tensions in the aftermath of World War I and the rise of fascism in Europe and militarism in Japan.
