[Michlib-l] Amazing program idea: Featuring Local Wrestler(s)

[Lisa Boyd]

Hello library land,

This weekend, we held WrestleFest, an expo-style event featuring "Amazing" N8 Mattson (a local wrestler). Nate talked about his 25+ years of experience in the industry and shared some pictures. He brought two championship belts and held a meet-and-greet-style table afterward, where he signed 8X10 photographs and posed for photos with patrons. I added some coloring sheets and a make-your-own wrestling belt craft that I created. As someone who does a decent amount of programs, I can say that this brought new patrons who were fans or interested in learning more.

I have two contacts and a couple of pictures to share. Please contact "Amazing" N8 or Gary from IWR if you would like to consider a wrestling-themed event for your community. I am happy to answer any additional questions off-thread, so please email me directly with those.
