ARTbox Derby
Saturday, September 25
Do you have a need for speed? Do you find creating elating?
Is being green your scene? Then sign up for the 2nd annual ARTbox Derby presented by the Arts Council of Princeton and D&R Greenway Land Trust. The entry deadline is September 17th, but the time to get started is now! Please visit www.artscouncilofprinceton.org for entry forms and specifications.
ARTbox Derby, a creative play on the classic ‘Soap Box Derby’ races, will take place at Greenway Meadows Park, in Princeton on Saturday, September 25th 2010 at 2pm (rain date is Sunday the 26th at 2 pm). Everyone is welcome to come to this fun–filled family afternoon with refreshments and live music.
The concept of combining art and recycling with speed was the invention of 13 year old Princetonian, Henry Sheeran. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Creativity (originality, artistry and/or showmanship); Sustainability (best use of recycled and/or natural materials) and Speed (engineering the fastest coaster car). All cars will be automatically entered in all three categories.
Competing cars must be handmade and must rely completely upon gravity to move.
Drivers must be at least 10 years old, but can team up with younger friends or siblings. The registration fee is $20 per car.
Details about the ARTbox Derby are on the Arts Council Website.

Greenway Land Trust for a popular guide to area trails entitled, Walk the Trails In & Around Princeton. This compact and trail guide, --covering 16 trails on preserved land in our region--, is now in its third printing. It has sold over 1,100 copies. Its profits are being divided among three local non-profits: D&R Greenway Land Trust, The Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, and Friends of Princeton Open Space. For further information, call 609-921-6078. Walk the Trails In & Around Princeton has been available at BRMS since its launch. Manager, Scott Morris, asserts, “It is absolutely fitting that we should have it. Being in the industry of the outdoors, we cater to people who hike trails in our region. It’s in our interest, of course, to call attention both trails and preservation. Frankly, we can’t keep the book in the store!” D&R Greenway reports new visitors nearly every day to purchase Walk the Trails. The particular artistry of this guide reflects the “deep connection with the natural world” of local free-lance photographer, Bentley Drezner. Maria Lindenfelder designed the slender volume, which fits smoothly into a cargo pants pocket without hindering a hiker’s stride. Images are in the form of postcards, which can be removed and mailed to convince others of the beauties of New Jersey. Guide-Michelin-like icons reveal each walk’s duration, canine welcome, whether or not the trail is jog-stroller-friendly, and/or suitable for all ages. Detailed maps accompany each preserved trail, courtesy of NJ Trails Association [ http://www.njtrails.org.]

WATERBIRDS
Recent Art Exhibition March 10 - April 30, 2010

An exhibition of images from the recent publication “Waterbirds” selected by the photographer. Mr. Cross felt that these twenty-three images were among his finest.
The first-ever presentation was a fitting tribute to the memory of a dedicated birder and conservationist who felt that “preserving the lands where these birds are found is one of the most important legacies we can leave to our grandchildren and future generations.”
