SUMMARY:Summer Reading Finale!
DESCRIPTION:All the children that complete Plant A Seed\, Read! (logging 8 hours in Beanstack) are invited to join the fun at our finale. \nBack by popular demand\, Ed Popielarczyk\, will present his comical magic show. Many in Belchertown know Ed as the “Balloon Guy” that has attended the Belchertown Fair for many years. Join us for laughs and amazement geared to people of all ages. \nAfter the show we will celebrate more with a cookie decorating station\, games and activities. All children will get to pick out their free book and will receive some local coupons\, such as Claymates and Cindy’s Drive-In. \nThis is a rain or shine event. Families will receive an email from Jennifer Whitehead about a week before the event to ask families to let us know if you plan to attend and how many in your family. \nProgram is funded by Friends of the Clapp Memorial Library and our Community sponsors
