[Michlib-l] Program Recommendations (The Storytellers, Alexandria's Nature Bus)

[Mary Rice]

I'll second the recommendation for The Storytellers.  We had them a couple of years ago and I had more positive comments from parents and grandparents about this program than any other program in recent years.

I'm glad I just saw the post about Wildlife Safari, because it
reminded me to post about a couple of wonderful programs we had this
summer at Oak Park.

Bob and Audrey Allison, aka The Storytellers
(http://www.thestorytellers.org/), were here to present a program on
being an everyday hero. The program included music and stories, humor
and laughter. Bob and Audrey played off each other and completely
engaged the kids throughout. Each child was able to play one (or
more!) of the unusual instruments they brought and a wonderful time
was had by all. Kids and parents alike enjoyed themselves.

We were also fortunate enough to win a grant that allowed us to have
an absolutely fascinating two-hour program with Alexandria's Nature
Bus from Howell's Nature Center
(http://www.spiritofalexandria.org/index.php/alexandria-s-nature-bus).
The naturalists brought five birds of prey and presented a fabulous
and fun program on them as well as had the kids explore the nature bus
itself.
