Flash Mob at Kump Education Center

Kump Education Center invites the public to participate in a Flash Mob at high noon today in the middle of the Open Studio Tour 2016 sponsored by the Randolph County Community Arts Center.

We envision a Bruegel painting of people on a glorious Saturday at Kump Education Center.

The “Mob” will congregate by 11:45 a.m. on three sides – not in front of the Kump house.

Some folks will be playing croquet in the south lawn near the Kump pasture.

Others may enjoy checking on vegetables in the community garden behind the historic house.

Still more will be picking and eating apples in the orchard above the building.

Just at noon the pied piper will begin playing the melody of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” Then she will walk through the south lawn inviting croquet players to leave their game, garden lovers to come away from the tomatoes and apple pickers to climb down from their fruitful trees.

The musical “Mob” will be able to park for a short time in the Kroger parking lot, or by our Seneca Road entrance in the high field near the Kump barn, or along Highway 33 by the south fence and walk in past the historic marker where our Pokemon lives.

We expect to have a piccolo player, a bagpiper, a few little highland dancers and lots of happy folks singing:

“Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,

Opening to the Sun above,

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

fill us with the light of day!”
