Gordon for President!

The Main Street Center in downtown Amherst was packed with a capacity crowd when magician Gordon Russ visited to officially kick off our summer reading program this year.  I lost count somewhere around 255 as people poured into the building.  Kids sat on the floor and adults filled the chairs lined up in the back.  Late comers squeezed in where ever they could find an opening as Gordon started the music and the show, of course, went on.

Pick me Gordon!  Nathan was one of the volunteers who got to try on the magic hat and help Gordon with the set of magic rings.  Keep in mind we have a magic workshop coming up on Monday, June 21.  Grades 2-4 meet at noon and grades 5 and up begin their session at 1:30.  Ron Price will be instructing kids on how to do some basic tricks using items you can find around the house.  Call the library for more information.  Magic is a great way to make friends.  Look at all the friends Gordon has?
