FEATURED EVENT
Music & Rhymes with Mother Goose
Saturday, August 15th & Sunday, August 16th
Laurie Ardis brings Mother Goose to life at Fairy Tale Forest. You’ll hear classic nursery rhymes and stories, upbeat sing and play-a-long songs, some written by Laurie herself, that youngsters will adore. Her singing, guitar playing and story telling charms her young audiences and they’ll wonder what surprises she’ll pull out next from her magic basket. The children will get involved too as she invites them “Be A Star” and accompany her with props, bells, and rhythm instruments. Look for her on the Bluebird Stage or at the School of Rhymes.
