As summer winds down and families prepare for the new school year, Historic Johnson Farm celebrates the last of summer fun with two long-standing events.

The LEGO Blast Competition will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 3 and is open to rising second- through sixth-grade students.

Student entries are $5; spectators get in free and are encouraged.

The Teddy Bear Tea Party is recommended for a younger audience, 3- to 9-year-olds, and will be held from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Aug. 10.

The LEGO Blast competition has been running for a number of years with varying themes for each event. This year the theme is Habitats. Students are invited to create an original design (no kits please) of a habitat fit for LEGO men and creatures. The habitat can be indoors, outdoors or even out in space.

Student creations will be judged on creativity and originality, use of color and interpretation of the theme.

Each student should bring their own LEGOs to build with. No LEGOs will be provided by Johnson Farm.

Students will have about 45 minutes to an hour to construct their creation on the day of the event. No pre-constructed pieces should be brought from home.

During the judging period kids are invited to play games, enjoy refreshments and have their photo taken as their favorite LEGO character. A first-place prize will be awarded for each age group and certificates will be presented to all students.

The annual Teddy Bear Tea Party will feature tea time, snacks, games, stories and a photo booth for both kids and their favorite teddy bear friend. Tea will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. and participants are asked to arrive no later than 10:20 a.m. so no part of the program is missed.

RSVP to either event by calling Johnson Farm at 828-891-6585 or visiting historicjohnsonfarm.org.
