Finding new passions <\/strong><\/p>\n

Drop-in programs are an ideal and affordable way to check out something new without making a big commitment.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to try something creative but you just don\u2019t know what, come out to the bimonthly art group on every second and fourth Wednesday. Bring a project to work on in any medium that\u2019s portable\u2014like painting, drawing, pen and ink, knitting or small-scale wood carving\u2014or get inspired by what others are doing. If music is more your thing, join the acoustic jam session on Friday mornings.<\/p>\n

If you like games, come for cards and cribbage on Thursday mornings or join a game of dominoes.<\/p>\n

Or get active with a game of pickleball or table tennis. There are new DrumFIT programs, too\u2014drop in or sign up for four weeks either on your own or ask about family pricing, and watch for special holiday-themed sessions at Hallowe\u2019en and Christmas.<\/p>\n

DrumFIT is a fun way to stay active<\/p><\/div>\n

Doing what you love, with a twist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019ve already found your passions. Keep them fresh by putting a new twist on your old favourites, or share your excitement for the things you love to do with your friends and family.<\/p>\n

Love to paint or knit? Get a new perspective on both when you create a \u2018painting\u2019 out of colourful fleece at the Watercolour with Wool workshop. Or for another twist on painting, make a stained glass look-alike on mirrors. Or try a completely different medium and canvas, using fluid inks on tiles.<\/p>\n

Love to cook? Gather some friends and learn to make some delicious Italian appetizers, get creative with cake decorating, or pause for a traditional afternoon tea. \u201cWith busy lives. it\u2019s not as common that we take the time to do these things any more, but they\u2019re a lot of fun,\u201d says Simone Babineau, Manager of Recreation and Leisure Services at the Town of Huntsville.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
