'Jill's GIANT Adventure'

“Jack and the Beanstalk” is a well-known fairy tale, but few know Jill’s side of the story. Minnetrista Theatre Preserves will share “Jill’s GIANT Adventure” at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 18, in the auditorium at New Castle-Henry County Public Library.

This interactive theatrical production is an original adaptation from Minnetrista and will serve as the ending for the in-library summer reading program that began in late May.

The Outreach Services summer reading program on the bookmobile continues through July 23. Spectacular Party Entertainment presents “Meet a Hero” 2-3 p.m. July 23 at First Christian Church Community Center, near the bookmobile’s stop in Mooreland. Kids are invited to meet Spider-Man, Captain America, and Cinderella and pose for pictures.

Extra planetarium shows

In response to popular demand, the Charles W. Brown Planetarium at Ball State University has added additional showings of “The Warm Summer Sky and Frozen Pluto” at 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 17 and 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 18, are in addition to the regularly scheduled programs announced earlier.

The show is best suited for age 9 and older. Admission is free, but seating is limited to arrive early. The planetarium is on the west end of the Cooper Science Complex, located along Riverside Avenue. Information: www.bsu.edu/planetarium

Simply Give to Muncie Mission

Muncie Mission will partner with Meijer this summer/fall season to provide hunger relief for the homeless and local families through the retailer’s customer-driven food pantry donation program, Simply Give, July 19-Sept. 12.

The program encourages customers to purchase $10 Meijer “Simply Give” Food Pantry Donation Cards, located at the check-out areas, which are matched by Meijer, then converted into Meijer gift cards and given to Muncie Mission.

Sept. 3-5 Meijer will help stretch the $10 cards even further by having Double Match Days. This means that every $10 food card purchase will be doubled by Meijer during those two days, resulting in a $30 donation.

Last year the Mission prepared and served more than 75,800 meals and assisted local families in need by providing more 50,000 food items, plus hundreds of perishable items. All of the Mission’s services are provided at no charge to recipients.
