Have You Shopped In Liberty Lately

To the Citizens of Liberty NC: I want to thank everyone who supported the Lib-erty Showcase during my 2 years of ownership. However, when the economy failed so did a lot of businesses, Liberty Showcase being one of them. Our overhead was just too great to keepthe Showcase open. I have received several phone calls wanting to know about the article inlast month's paper that mentions my name( Larry Alexander).Since there is a concern about who owns the Liberty Showcase, let me clear the record for everyone. At one point I had an active partner,Mr. Henry Kuykendall. Henry decided that the showcase was a bad investment and elected to step aside and I continued to operate the show-case and pay the bills . Now I have assigned myhalf interest over to Mr. Kuykendall, and he isthe sole owner of Liberty Showcase. Mr. Staleyis not the owner, but my understanding is he ismanaging the Liberty Showcase for Mr. Kuykendall. Mr. Staley is the lien holder in thistransaction as he has always been.Thank you, Larry Alexander

Early Learning and Fun at Liberty’s July 4

th

Festival

By: Jennifer BeasleyWhat can you do with your child on a humid and hot day that is both educational and fun? Play with water! That is just what

Celebrate Liberty’s Children (CLC) did with children at Liberty’s July 4

th

Festival. CLC set up a free early learning center in-cluding water activities such as water tables with toys and painting with water. Many children stopped at the water tables to playand cool off with the water. Other children painted the street with water and watched as their masterpieces quickly evaporated in

the heat. Parents also participated in the fun by exploring the amazing properties of water and observing their children’s re

ac-tions to the water centers. Why is water play important? Not only is playing with water inexpensive, but water play promotesthe development of fine motor skills, gross motor skills, cognitive skills, and social play skills that are all emerging during earlychildhood.

Aside from the water play activities, CLC’s free learning center also included a sidewalk chalk center, a spray

-bottle paint cen-ter, as well as a community art project. The sidewalk chalk center gave children a chance to release their creativity while devel-oping their fine motor skills as well. In the spray-bottle paint center, children had the opportunity to work on their fine motor skills while squeezing the spray bottles to create splashes of artwork on a sheet that was hanging from the fence. The commu-nity art project gave children and their parents the opportunity to use their creative skills and work together with others to con-struct a one-of-a-

kind piece of artwork. CLC volunteers also handed out free children’s books as well as Parent Resource

Guides from the Randolph County Partnership for Children and brochures about the programs offered at the Liberty Early

Childhood Center. Celebrate Liberty’s Children plans to offer free early learning centers at Liberty’s 4

th

of July Festival next

year. Look for Celebrate Liberty’s Children this October for the Annual Movie Night at Millstone Creek Orchards and at the

Liberty Christmas Parade in December

handing out books. Celebrate Liberty’s

Children is funded by the RandolphCounty Partnership for Children. For more information on programs offered by the Liberty Early Childhood Center

and Celebrate Liberty’s Children, please
