Tue	Children's entertainment series! 7/7 11:30a Jim Gill an active sing-along and clap-along. Jim bangs out energetic rhythms on his banjo while everyone sings claps, jumps, dances and even sneezes along. 7/14 11:30a Fox and Branch, Dave Fox and Will Branch play a timeless kind of music. Their crowd-pleasing mix of old blues, jug band songs, fiddle tunes, New Orleans-flavored numbers and Cajun tunes makes people stop and smile. The duo has played to appreciative audiences at clubs, festivals, schools and libraries all over the Midwest, as well as on the east coast. Their music has been played on folk radio across the United States and Canada. 7/21 11:30a Jeanie B In her experience, kids love rock 'n' roll. They love to dance and laugh. She wanted to provide her kids with music that they could all enjoy together. She then put her adult music career on hold to focus on providing songs for her children. When her youngest son (at age 3) started a bedtime game where he would give her a topic and then ask her to sing a song about it, the songs just started pouring out of her. And from her folk/rock roots, Jeanie B! and The Jelly Beanswere born. This is a fun kid friendly concert that you won't want to miss. 7/28 11:30a Rick Kelley A one-man, interactive musical treat, Rick gets you on your feet with R & B standards, Motown classics, and original material.
