    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.

Crystal has released over twenty number one hits and has been awarded numerous times by the Grammy’s, the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, the American Music Awards, and the American Music Operators Association. Crystal is currently in the studio finishing a new album that will be released later this year. Christos Gatzimos, Crystal’s son, is engineering and co-producing the project with her. The album will contain classic country songs that had special significance to Crystal in her youth. Crystal’s most recent album, All My Tomorrows, complements her country heritage. All My Tomorrows, released to outstanding critical response, is a collection of classic American standards that Crystal produced with Jay Patten, her longtime music director. The album is an enjoyable masterpiece that bonds her familiar crystalline voice and mature vocal styling with some of the greatest songs of our popular music heritage. “I feel honored to perform these favorite songs that any artist loves to sing, songs with timeless beauty.” The fourteen selections range from “You Belong to Me,” “Smile,” “It Had to Be You,” “Cry Me A River” and “Sentimental Journey” to Ray
    Charles’ “Hallelujah I Love Him So.” Crystal also found great personal satisfaction in recording two inspirational albums. Her Grammy nominated “Someday” was comprised of mostly original spiritual songs
    and “He Is Beautiful” contains mostly traditional hymns. These efforts led to Crystal’s 2009 induction into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. Crystal has contributed songs to three Grammy winning children’s albums: Sesame Country (in which she dueted with Big Bird), Here comes the Rainbow, and Songs from
    the Neighborhood - The Music of Mr. Rogers. Crystal’s adds her first solo children’s album, In My Arms, a collection of lullabies that perfectly suits her warm vocals. “I loved all of these songs immediately and the tender and imaginative production makes In My Arms an album that appeals to children of all ages.”

    Crystal is a long-time resident of Nashville, Tennessee. When Crystal is not touring she spends much of her personal time with her immediate and extended family. Crystal also makes time for community involvement. She was the first recipient of the Waterford Crystal “Celebration of Light” award in recognition of her many charitable activities.

    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.

    A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings routinely made the pop, R&B, and jazz charts during the 1980’s and ’90’s, Kenny G‘s sound became a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations. He’s a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of “contemporary jazz” charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as jazz. Click here for tickets.

    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:

    Johnson leaped to the forefront of contemporary music some 20 years ago as “an extraordinary guitar player accessible to ordinary music fans,” as the Memphis Commercial Appeal hails him, with his landmark album Ah Via Musicom. Lauded as a “recording [that] has reached near-classic proportions within the guitar community” by All Music Guide, it was preceded by dedicated groundwork as a live performer that marked him as a talent bound for great things. And it’s been followed by a diverse and fascinating musical journey that inspired The New Age Music Guide to rave that “Eric Johnson plays guitar the way Michelangelo painted ceilings: with a colorful vibrancy that’s more real than life.” (Rock/Instrumental).

    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

    An Evening with Jacob de Cordova
    From 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Lee Lockwood Library and Museum, 2801 W Waco Dr, Waco, TX 76707, USA

    Jewish, Jamaican-born Spaniard, Jacob de Cordova fell in love with the state of Texas during a visit to the United States at a young age. With a heritage as unique as his, de Cordova was bound to make a lasting mark on the world. Saying de Cordova was a man of great accomplishments is an understatement. He was a successful land agent, and over his life would become the largest landholder in the state of Texas, commanding around one million acres of land. This came as a result of his explorations, exploring more territory than voyager Cabeza de Vaca. His knowledge of the state helped him produce the most well-received and accurate map of Texas of his time. His love for Texas motivated him to bring more settlers to his beloved state. Of all his accomplishments, establishing the city of Waco is one of his most significant legacies. In 1848, he was given the task to lay out a town along the Brazos River, what would be called, “Waco.” He was quoted saying, “She will be my daughter, and a beautiful daughter she will be” In reference to this new city he laid out. Today, he is celebrated for his heritage and his passion for bringing people together to the state that he loved. Historic Waco Foundation, in collaboration with the Cen-Tex Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, McLennan County Historical Commission, and Texas Fine Artists invites you to this free lecture.

  • 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
    Sundays – 2 pm & 4 pm
