Hi Friends! Be sure to join us on Friday July 11 4-6 pm for Family Fun Friday! Marci Diamond from Diamond Family Circus will be sharing circus arts and in addition to “standard” circus equipment, she will bring examples of things families may have at home that can be used to continue practicing with (e.g., bags, potatoes or bandanas for juggling practice)! Thank you to our sponsor Burklyn Arts! In case of bad weather the show will go on at Riverside School 30 Lily Pond Road.
