Juggling too many items on your agenda? I know I am. Monday, June 27 at 2 p.m. everyone is invited to enjoy the comedy juggling performance of Matt Jergens. And maybe afterward you can take part in a juggling workshop.
His show is a blend of incredible juggling tricks, kid-friendly comedy, and plenty of audience participation. Whether he's balancing a basket of eggs that's twenty feet in the air or riding on top of his tall unicycle, audiences can't get enough of Matt's crazy routines.
Matt learned how to juggle during his senior year in high school. While attending The Ohio State University his roomate turned out to be a professional magician who gave him insight on promoting his show and working within the entertainment industry.
Today, Matt performs over 300 shows a year, entertaining crowds at business venues, fairs, schools and on the big stage. But he still remembers what it was like the first time he discovered the thrill of accomplishment and after his performance on Monday, everyone will have the option of staying after the show for one of two 30-minute juggling workshops led by Matt.
Come on...you can juggle your schedule around to join us on Monday. Remember the Main Street Center is located at 255 Park Avenue in downtown Amherst. For more information on Matt Jergens visit his webpage and check out his photo gallery.
Neither asphalt, nor trucks, nor large men in orange vests can stop determined people from getting to storytime at Amherst Township Park. Today we had 22 people who hiked, biked, and even came by scooter to attend our Tuesday Storytime in the Park.
Mrs. Stanley was ready with stories about vacation and at some points the crowd had to help with some of the lines that repeated in the one book as we all shouted "summery, Saturday morning!" over the drone of the big construction equipment.
Kids who did make it to storytime saw an extra bonus as we spotted a rabbit hopping by and a bird flew into the shelter house to feed her three babies in the nest. It was a vacation from the library as we shared some nice stories in the park and marvelled at the joys of nature so close....even with all the noisy trucks.
Amherst Township Park will have a nice paved parking lot next week when we return for our next storytime in the park on Tuesday, June 28 at 10:30 p.m. Maybe some of the construction workers will stop by again. You know they really liked that last book we read!
