Fun with Two of a Kind!

For those who couldn't make it on Saturday, you sure did miss an awesome time! Two of a Kind put on an amazing show with tons of songs about animals and they included a special song they wrote just for Eric Carle month here at the Square. Needless to say, it was a great time. Here are some pictures:

Two of a Kind

I hope I'm going to see everyone on Saturday! Two of a Kind is coming to visit and it is shaping up to be an awesome time!



Two of a Kind is an interactive musical group. They use songs, puppets, movement, and stories to entertain the crowd. But do not expect to sit there and watch the show; they love tons of audience participation!

This Saturday, they have a special program planned just for us! All their songs and stories are going to have to do with ANIMALS!!! Super fun, right? This is all in honor of the Eric Carle's book Animals, Animals. If you haven't read this book yet, then you definitely should! It is available at our Book Nook (opened all day, everyday), so stop by and read it any time!

The program runs from 2PM to 3PM and is free with museum admission! I can not wait to see you all there!!
