Melanie Zimmer was here with her Dancing Bear Theater to present "The Littlest Pirate". I was very impressed with her giant-sized theater and the beauty of her puppets. We all laughed when the puppets wouldn't wake up for the show, and were in awe of the mighty pirate vanquishing sea serpent! A few of us might have even been a bit afraid of the awful pirate, Eddie Snickerbucket.
After the pirates and puppets left, and the Wacky Wednesday class "visited" Europe, juggler Nate the Great came and taught some of our teens to juggle. Nate is always fun to have around, and the kids learned quite a lot of skills from him. Who knew we had such talent in Macedon!
Today, we are grateful to Phil Klingler who happily returned to conduct another Bridge Building Workshop. I am never sure who has more fun at these things, Phil or the kids. But there were lots of smiling faces and some fantastic bridges when all was said and done.
Next week:
Melanie Zimmer will be back to Thursday, at 1:00 p.m., to teach us how to make and manipulate marionettes made from scarves! There is still room in the workshop if you are 8 years or older and want to learn to entertain your friends and family with puppets. Call us at 315-986-5932
