"Tricky Chaz" - Magic Show

"Tricky Chaz" the magician/juggler/balloon artist performed at the library August 1st. Charles Watson, alias "Tricky Chaz", performed many amazing tricks which puzzled the children as well as adults who attend the show.  Chaz involved the children in his show and had each person laughing, which is a good thing.  He is an excellent juggler also.  After his show he made each child attending a balloon figurine.  Our library director received a Mickey Mouse balloon figurine.  Refreshments were served and each child received a fun bag to take home provided by the Friends of the Rupert Library. 

Magic Show Aug 1st

The last day of our 2015 Summer Reading program, which is August 1st, we are having "Tricky Chaz" the Magician perform for us.  He will be doing comedy magic, juggling, and balloon twisting.  Tricky Chaz will also give the "Kids" free souvenir coloring pages.
Mark your calendar for the August 1st "Tricky Chaz" Magic Show.  Come join the fun. 

Visitors from New York and England

Deloris Lilly (center), brought her guests who were visiting our beautiful state to see our beautiful new library.
Hanna Cole is visiting from Oxford England and Nick Zvegintzon is visiting from Staten Island, New York. 
The visitors were given a tour of the new library and they were very glad that we have such a nice facility.
Both Hanna and Nick are contributors of our library.  They were quite happy that we had wireless service
so they could keep in touch with family back home and take care of business.
