Award-winning musician and author Jim Gill will perform many of his signature songs for our young attendees. Author and illustrator David Slonim will be offering two drawing workshops for our young attendees. Everyone in the family is invited to attend. 
There will also be carnival games, a bounce house and an inflatable obstacle course, food trucks down Washington Street selling food, balloon animals,
local authors, and appearances by Elephant & Piggie. Attendees might win
