The kids were very attentive during the presentation portion of the program. They asked good questions related to the toys that were demonstrated. All of the parents who were there thanked us for having the program and said how much they enjoyed it. Since the program, we have had a student come and ask about other performances Mr. Fun is doing in the area and we told him about the programs that were scheduled in August.
Pipestone, Redwood Falls and Rock County libraries held programs the same day to reduce costs.
