Happily surprised with yummy delish smoothies we each got to the super cool fun slide on the Kraken ship. Kids getting to learn sword fighting with Jack Sparrow. Pretty mermaids and best bubble machine I've seen to date. Thank you for putting on a wonderful event!"
Journey by the Sea Nautical Adventures
"We had such an amazing time at this event. I’m constantly grateful for all the opportunities that the library offer! We enjoyed the activities, gifts and music"

From the various crafts before the show, to a celebration of music and performing arts, the event showcased a unique experience not always available to everyone today. I celebrate the message of supportive and inclusive efforts on behalf of the library to all arts."

Jazz in the Garden with Daniel Bennett Band

Dancing Queens and Disco Kings
"I was stuck in writer's block for many years and tried many, many things to try & get my creativity back. This event helped me so much. I feel like I now have a clear path back to my art, and I cannot thank you enough. The only downside was that the room was very hot. Tough to keep those conference rooms cool!"
