Family Craft night at the library
Next Monday, November 17th, the Longmont Public Library will host a FREE craft event for families. From 6:30 to 7:30 pm come to the library to make a "gingerbread" house from graham crackers, candy and lots of icing. This even is for all ages but the littlest ones will need help, of course!

Music with Madelyn summer concerts
Madelyn and Ernie of Music with Madelyn are playing two summer concerts in Longmont! The first is this Saturday, June 7th, at noon at Sunflower Farms. This one costs $6 per person (under 12 months free) but that admission also gets you access to all the farm fun - lots of animals to see and play with, treehouses, the sand box, tire swings and lots of room to run around! The second is Monday, June 23rd at 1 pm at the Longmont Public Library. This event is free but arrive early to get a ticket and get in line.
If you haven't seen Madelyn and Ernie perform, be sure to catch these or one or her other area concerts! They sing fun, lively, engaging kids songs geared toward the preschool crowd that get everyone up on their feet dancing, jumping and making animal sounds. She also teaches excellent kids classes as well as intro to guitar for parents (which includes tips on how to play while your kids strum!). We still sing songs we learned in her class years ago :) We'll definitely be at one or both of these concerts!

No...wait...already?!
TWO DAYS of school left?? That's it? Where did the last 9 months go? I'd love to hear what fun, exciting, local plans you have for your kids this summer. Will you spend lazy afternoons at the pool, frolic in the park, keep up on that summer reading at the library, or send the kids off to a summer camp? Whatever you do I hope you come here to find out the latest local kid-friendly events! Post a comment or send me an email if you have any suggestions! :)
By the way, I've really been struggling with "advertising" on this site. Several people have emailed asking for me to post about them (with and without offers of trying their services first) and I don't know what to do! On the one hand, I frequently post about events that I have never attended before and know I'm not going to attend but posting about a public event feels different than posting basically an endorsement of a local business. Know what I mean? I'd love to hear your feedback. Would you like to know about these small, usually mom-owned businesses here in Longmont? Any suggestions on criteria I should use to decide which businesses to post about? What do YOU want when you come here?
Edited to add: Yes, I have that silly Google ad banner in the right hand column but I think I've made a whopping $1.43 off it (and they don't mail you a check until you reach $100 - haha!) so I'm not exactly doing this for the money or looking to get free stuff for myself (for you, yes! Always on the lookout for that!) :) Just wanted to clarify...

Sue Schnitzer concert at the Longmont Library
Sue Schnitzer will play a spring concert at the Longmont Library on Wednesday, April 2nd at 10:30 am. 125 free tickets will be handed out beginning at 10 am. This is during St. Vrain's Spring Break so it's bound to be packed! Sue is a very fun kids entertainer - we've enjoyed many of her performances and regularly check out her CDs from the library!
From her website:
"Sue's programs are energetic, entertaining and very interactive. She encourages her audience to sing along, jump, dance, twirl, stamp feet, clap hands, and have fun! She sings folk songs, children's songs, songs about being a cookie, a jack-in-the box, popcorn, being loved and being special. Instruments used may include guitar - acoustic and electric, harmonica, kazoo, ukulele, and assorted percussion instruments including kitchen items."

Tumblebooks through the Library
Did you know that our local library subscribes to a service called Tumblebooks where you and your child can read books online, play games, and learn other languages? Check it out - http://www.tumblebooks.com/library/asp/home_tumblebooks.asp! Looks like a great way to occupy the kiddos for a while during school breaks :)
