Things happening in February that you should know about but aren’t in the February issue
• The Vineyard Community Center is hosting another Free Movie and Popcorn. This time it’s “The Chronicles of Narnia,” at 6 p.m. Sunday, February 18, at 4140 FM 1878 in Nacogdoches.
To quote the press release: “The Disney 2005 production of the C.S. Lewis classic tale. In World War, the four Pevenses children: Peter Susan, Edmund and Lucy are evacuated from London to the country house of an eccentric old professor. There, bored and restless, first Lucy and Edmund, and then all four of the kids make their way through an attic wardrobe in Narnia, a magical land of mythical creatures and talking animals. But Narnia is not perfect: it’s always winter and never Christmas since the White Witch began her rule. And there are evil creatures as well as good, and a traitor in their midst. Only the return of Aslan can bring victory in the coming battle to win spring and freedom back to Narnia.” For more information, go here.

Herbal soap seminar
The SFA Mast Arboretum will begin its 2007 garden seminar series with “Gifts from the Garden,” a soap-making workshop, from 9 a.m. until noon Jan. 13 in the Agriculture Building Room 118 on Wilson Drive.
Zaina Farrar, an experienced soap maker, will lead the demonstration. Participants will create a variety of herbal soaps, learn recipes and techniques of soap making and take home samples of luxurious soap they make themselves.
“The soap will be made from coconut and palm kernel oil, lye, essential oils, and dried herbs,” Farrar said. “I will teach the step-by-step process of cold-process soap making, so attendees can make soap at home on their own.”
Farrar is a senior forest recreation management major at SFA and is a member of the National Association for Interpretation and the Society of American Foresters.
Cost for the seminar is $25 for SFA Mast Arboretum and Pineywoods Native Plant Center Members and $35 for non-members. For more information, contact the education office at (936) 468-1832 or e-mail erodewald@sfasu.edu.
