More Info Flying Monsters Flying Monsters From 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Mayborn Museum Complex, 1300 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76706, USA For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Admission to FLYING MONSTERS only is $3 for children, adults, and groups, $2 for Baylor University students and museum members. Run time is 20 minutes.

We are excited to have the public back out for this holiday tradition. We have over 100 different colored frits (glass) to choose from, and several different designs that can be used for each ornament. Up to three colors can be used per ornament and our master glassblower, Jordan, will create the design with the colors that you choose. All ages can participate in the events, and the actual “blowing” of the ornament is fairly simple. Blowing the molten glass into an orb for an ornament is very similar to blowing up a balloon. Jordan will handle the shaping of the ornament and the addition of the colors, so the participant can focus on blowing their ornament. The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade. The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make.

More Info Flying Monsters Flying Monsters From 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Mayborn Museum Complex, 1300 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76706, USA For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction.

We are excited to have the public back out for this holiday tradition. We have over 100 different colored frits (glass) to choose from, and several different designs that can be used for each ornament. Up to three colors can be used per ornament and our master glassblower, Jordan, will create the design with the colors that you choose. All ages can participate in the events, and the actual “blowing” of the ornament is fairly simple. Blowing the molten glass into an orb for an ornament is very similar to blowing up a balloon. Jordan will handle the shaping of the ornament and the addition of the colors, so the participant can focus on blowing their ornament. The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade. The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make. Ornaments are $40 each, and groups of 8 or more are welcome to tour of our stained glass studio after making their ornaments. The event is by appointment only.

Flying Monsters

From 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Mayborn Museum Complex, 1300 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76706, USA

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Admission to FLYING MONSTERS only is $3 for children, adults, and groups, $2 for Baylor University students and museum members. Run time is 20 minutes.

Willow City is comprised of siblings Beecher, Ezra, Liza, and Asa Proch.

Soon, they were traveling the Texas Hill Country, calling themselves “4 Proches” and serenading crowds with their sibling harmony. Fast forward a few years. In March of 2017, they rebranded their band as “Willow City”, a name based on a tiny town you won’t find on a map, but a tiny town in Texas where their dreams took root and their music careers began. Willow City’s music cuts through the negativity and dystopia so prevalent in our world today. Their mission is to Inspire Happy in their listeners. Willow City took home the 2017 Best of Country Music showcase award in their region and was featured on the May 13th episode of Texas Country Reporter. Click here for tickets.

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world.

The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction.

Flying Monsters
Flying Monsters

From 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Mayborn Museum Complex, 1300 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76706, USA

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Admission to FLYING MONSTERS only is $3 for children, adults, and groups, $2 for Baylor University students and museum members. Run time is 20 minutes.

Some might gauge Branford Marsalis’s success by his numerous awards, including three Grammys and (together with his father and brothers) his citation as a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts. To Branford, however, these are only way stations along what continues to be one of the most fascinating and rewarding journeys in the world of music.

Blow-Your-Own Christmas Ornament
Blow-Your-Own Christmas Ornament

From 8:00 am - 6:00 pm at Stanton Studios, 318 Rogers Hill Rd, Waco, TX 76705, USA

We are holding our fifth annual Blow-Your-Own Ornament event here at Stanton Studios. We are excited to have the public back out for this holiday tradition.

We have over 100 different colored frits (glass) to choose from, and several different designs that can be used for each ornament. Up to three colors can be used per ornament and our master glassblower, Jordan, will create the design with the colors that you choose.

All ages can participate in the events, and the actual “blowing” of the ornament is fairly simple. Blowing the molten glass into an orb for an ornament is very similar to blowing up a balloon. Jordan will handle the shaping of the ornament and the addition of the colors, so the participant can focus on blowing their ornament. The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade.

The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make. Ornaments are $40 each, and groups of 8 or more are welcome to tour of our stained glass studio after making their ornaments. The event is by appointment only. To reserve an appointment, call (254) 829-1151 or email allison@stantonglass.com

Flying Monsters
Flying Monsters

From 11:00 am - 12:00 pm at Mayborn Museum Complex, 1300 S University Parks Dr, Waco, TX 76706, USA

For thousands of years, humans have believed that there were once flying monsters. Such creatures became mythologized, with stories about them shared around the world. But could they have really existed? About 220 million years ago dinosaurs were on the rise to dominating the Earth. But another group of reptiles was about to make an extraordinary leap—control of the skies. They were the pterosaurs—after insects, the first animals ever to fly. The story of how and why these mysterious creatures took to the air is more fantastical than any fiction. Admission to FLYING MONSTERS only is $3 for children, adults, and groups, $2 for Baylor University students and museum members. Run time is 20 minutes.

Scheduled Screenings:

Saturdays – 11 am, 1 pm, & 3 pm

Blow-Your-Own Christmas Ornament
Blow-Your-Own Christmas Ornament

From 8:00 am - 6:00 pm at Stanton Studios, 318 Rogers Hill Rd, Waco, TX 76705, USA

We are holding our fifth annual Blow-Your-Own Ornament event here at Stanton Studios. We are excited to have the public back out for this holiday tradition.

We have over 100 different colored frits (glass) to choose from, and several different designs that can be used for each ornament. Up to three colors can be used per ornament and our master glassblower, Jordan, will create the design with the colors that you choose.

All ages can participate in the events, and the actual “blowing” of the ornament is fairly simple. Blowing the molten glass into an orb for an ornament is very similar to blowing up a balloon. Jordan will handle the shaping of the ornament and the addition of the colors, so the participant can focus on blowing their ornament. The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade.

The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make. Ornaments are $40 each, and groups of 8 or more are welcome to tour of our stained glass studio after making their ornaments. The event is by appointment only. To reserve an appointment, call (254) 829-1151 or email allison@stantonglass.com

Blow-Your-Own Christmas Ornament

We are holding our fifth annual Blow-Your-Own Ornament event here at Stanton Studios. We are excited to have the public back out for this holiday tradition.

We have over 100 different colored frits (glass) to choose from, and several different designs that can be used for each ornament. Up to three colors can be used per ornament and our master glassblower, Jordan, will create the design with the colors that you choose.

All ages can participate in the events, and the actual “blowing” of the ornament is fairly simple. Blowing the molten glass into an orb for an ornament is very similar to blowing up a balloon. Jordan will handle the shaping of the ornament and the addition of the colors, so the participant can focus on blowing their ornament. The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade.

The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make. Ornaments are $40 each, and groups of 8 or more are welcome to tour of our stained glass studio after making their ornaments. The event is by appointment only.

The ornaments are about three inches in diameter, but can vary slightly since each one is homemade.

The events will also include a coffee and hot chocolate area for the cold weather, Christmas decorations, candy, and music! Grab your family and friends and start your own Christmas tradition at Stanton. The ornaments only take about 10 minutes to make. Ornaments are $40 each, and groups of 8 or more are welcome to tour of our stained glass studio after making their ornaments. The event is by appointment only. To reserve an appointment, call (254) 829-1151 or email allison@stantonglass.com
