Grab your family, a favorite stuffie and blanket, and come enjoy snacks and entertainment on the Endicott Branch lawn!

We are going to have two performers at this year's event! For those who have come to enjoy monthly Animal Songs with Uncle Dick, Dick Pierce will be singing and dancing along with kids and their stuffies from 10:30-11 am.

From 11am -12 pm, be sure not to miss Melissa Bornmann, better known as Bubbles McGee! She will bring unforgettable fun to our Teddy Bear Picnic with her Interactive Bubble Show—perfect for all ages! Set to lively, family-friendly music, this high-energy performance features colorful wands, giant nets, and playful bubble props that fill the air with bazillions of bubbles in every size and shape. This outdoor show creates a magical atmosphere that delights both kids and adults. It’s more than just entertainment—it’s a joyful, bubble-filled experience that everyone will remember!

This program is intended for young children and their caregivers; no registration required. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Contact Lisa at ldesmond@minlib.net with questions.
