This show is a marvelous display at what magnets and conductors can do with energy. You will be amazed at how this show seems to defy logic, as if it was made with magic. Books floating, clear liquid turning black on a time delay, fire on ice, how can it be? This show has sound, lights, and even explosions!

What do you get when you mix kids, fun, water and one of the funniest children's performers out there? You get the most interactive, exciting and WET show you've ever been to!
Kids interact in game show type activities where EVERYONE comes out a Winner! If members of the audience choose not to get wet, there will be an area available where they will stay mostly dry. But, if you're in the "soak zone," you will get WET!
Bring your swimsuits and towels and be ready for some fun!!!

Join us and the Ecology Action Center in reading One Plastic Bag: Isatou Ceesay and the Recycling Women of the Gambia by Miranda Paul. The book shares the story of five women who, despite ridicule and a lack of resources, creatively dealt with their village’s plastic trash problem by giving local women economic empowerment through their recycled plastic purse project. This picture book tells the inspirational true story of how one person’s voice and actions really can make a difference in our world. Learn about recycling efforts in our own local community and about how to properly dispose of plastic bags. To help remind children of what they learned that day, children will learn how to make bracelets out of plastic bags!
