BELMONT — Belmont Historical Society will host Saturday morning cartoons at Belmont Mill on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m.
In addition to watching clips from cartoons that came out in the late ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, attendees will learn about how cartoons came to be a staple of after school and Saturday morning routines for children as well as big business for the industry.
The program will be presented by Margo Burns, a lifelong fan of cartoons, who cut her teeth on “Popeye” and “Yogi Bear.” She formally studied animation for two years in the Rhode Island School of Design’s continuing education program and has led computer animation projects with middle and high school students as part of UNH’s Tech Camp in Durham, where each crew makes a complete film in a week. She recently retired from St Paul’s School in Concord where she advised their International Lunchtime Animation Festival student club.
Funding for the program is provided by NH Humanities and the Belmont Sargent Fund.
