Virtual Goodwood’s Got Game Nights!
Wednesday, November 11th | 4:30-5:30 PM
Just because we have to social distance, does not mean we have to give up socializing! This is an opportunity to create memories through laughter and celebrate new traditions with your loved ones. Goodwood’s Got Game night is back this November, and while not all games can be played virtually, there are quite a few for number-loving and word-loving gamers that can be modified to provide some community interaction and downright virtual fun.
Test your cognitive health by exercising those brain cells with these quick-thinking games and puzzles. See if you can remember the old days by recalling popular bands of the decades or historic events, figure out movies from emojis or famous people by their silhouettes, or unscramble words you would find on a grocery list. Games will be designed to wake up and use all the parts of the mind, while also boosting our brain health through social interaction. Please register to receive details and the Zoom program link.

Goodwood Tour, Workshop, and Lunch
May 5th | 11:30 AM-3:30 PM | Jubilee Cottage | $60
Get creative with Acrylic Pouring in a demonstration and workshop with Tricia Beall. Each ‘pour’ is unique and just like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get. You will love this new way of expressing yourself creatively and we dare you to do it once and stop, it is so therapeutic and addictive!
Begin your day with an hour-tour of Goodwood’s Main House discovering the history and beauty of days past. Next venture to Goodwood’s Game Court, the historic roller rink, and grab a spot at one of our outdoor tables to enjoy a boxed lunch from the RevCafe. Finally, join Tricia Beall for a two-hour demonstration and mini-workshop to learn the basics of Acrylic Pouring. She has become a wildly popular Flow artist at Goodwood, and her classes fill up quickly so please sign up early!
Registration is required, and seating is limited.
Tricia Beall is an artist whose experience includes painting in watercolor, acrylic and oils as well as working with collage and wood. She owned her own gallery which represented Russian Impressionists in Hendersonville, NC and trained and worked in fine art, frame conservation, and restoration. Since her recent discovery of the acrylic pour method of painting, she has turned her entire house into a studio and if you look hard enough you can find her all hours of the day and night buried under plastic cups with paint from the tips of her fingers to the tip of her nose! You can see examples of Tricia’s work in the gift shop and Visitors Center at Goodwood.
Postponed due to COVID-19. Please check back for more information.
