Oh my goodness, that sounds like such a FUN event! What a great way to weave the entire community together! Have fun if you get the chance to go and take pics!
Good Morning Jennifer,
Thanks for the post. Great community information. Have a great day.
Jennifer, Thanks for sharing information about your community. It sounds like a fun event.
Oh Jennifer~ I want to see that yo-yo demo!
Leesa I agree, this Big Red was a great way to bring the community closer.
Patrick thank you. I also found your community information informative.
Gita it will be. The location is also great as it is on the bank of the Hudson River.
JaneAnne that should be lots of fun for all age group.
Jen, I haven't been commenting as much as my daughter is getting married. I remember meeting you through the Karen George and you were planning your daughters wedding. So just stopping by to say hello.
Sounds like a good time Jennifer. I hope you get to take some time off and attend:)
What a cool event! I love the picture of the building and am assuming that is the library! I would love to sit and hear the jazz too!
Jennifer Libraries are becoming more creative in finding ways to bring the public in - this sounds like an excellent one
Jennifer - Another terrific localism post. Looks like fun. Hope you are well.
Jennifer - What a great event for the community and who could pass up on all those fun activities. Have a great wekend!
Jennifer, sounds like a fun event. I have been to the Mansion in Newport, RI where a major part of the movie was shot and it was nice to see how the other half lived :)
Missy good to see you. I know how busy and exciting planning for a wedding can be, but it is well worth it.. Best wishes.
Bill I do hope I make it back in time.
Renee the building is the historic home at Clermont State Park, where attendees can tour the gardens and walk the grounds. Just imagine listening to Jazz by the Will Smith trio while looking at the majestic Hudson River and Catskill Mountains. I am positive you would have had a great time.
Karen the Red Hook Library certainly had a great line-up to get community involvement.
Bob great to see you, and I hope all is well with you too. This production by the library was truly an excellent idea.
Donna I agree, I do hope the library will continue to come up with more programs to get the community involved.
George I too love touring the lovely mansions in Newport. I think the grounds at Clermont is comparable.
Hey Jennifer, sounds like good times for all to have, YoYo demos, they can do some pretty nifty tricks..that is no joke :)
