Summer 2024 – A Magical Outdoor Adventure

Join Mr. Jim this summer as he mystifies us with an outdoor magical adventure! This family show will delight all ages. Follow along as we move through the brush to check out plant-life and animals. We might even catch a creature! You will need to keep your eyes focused on the path, on the heavens, and straight-ahead, all at the same time, so you don’t miss a thing; from dinosaur bones to dangerous flying insects. So put your electronic devices aside and come outside…and bring a book along too!

 
Speaking of adventure, Mr. Jim is also promoting the Animal Balloon Presentation, another family favorite! The children will be in awe as Mr. Jim creates a wide variety of colorful animals, sharing simple step-by-step instructions for this wonderful artform.   

Schedule your 2024 Adventure today!
