Creative Discovery Mueseum Participates In Riverbend

Friday, June 08, 2012

Creative Discovery Museum will be a part of the 2012 Riverbend Festival by participating in several festivities during the 9 day event.


Today and next Friday, science will come alive as Creative Discovery Museum showcases a liquid nitrogen demonstration entitled, “Fire and Ice Science Show,” on the Volkswagen Stage at Riverbend.

Each performance will begin at 7:15 p.m. and will feature Lady Ice and Fire Man. Children and families will be awed as the combination creates a loud, but thrilling “boom” and huge geyser comprised of steam and water.


Later, Creative Discovery Museum will welcome Sol Driven Train, a music group performing children’s songs, for part of Riverbend Unplugged. Sol Driven Train will perform tomorrow at 2 p.m. Described as a “band in motion,” Sol Driven Train released their first children’s album in 2005 entitledTajar Tracks. Since that time, the band has been a favorite with younger audiences at Museums and festivals around the country.


Riverbend Unplugged will also bring Radio Host and Web DJ Dave Loftin of The Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl to the Museum. DJ Dave will create a mix of the best Kindie music (kid’s independent music) that will be played at 2 p.m. Monday through Friday during the week of June 11-15.
