Last Thursday after our senior services Emergency Preparedness Program, we invited all of our guests into the meeting room in order to experience video game bowling courtesy of the Nintendo Wii. 15 or so curious souls laced up their bowling shoes, grabbed their ball, and stepped onto virtual parquet floor to give it a try. After the first couple of frames in which the participants spent a majority of the time getting a basic feel for the controls and dynamics of the game, they soon became comfortable and were promptly off and rolling (mainly strikes and spares).

Gabe holding Izod
Wild Things, Inc. brought a fascinating array of rescued animals to our program on Monday, including a lemur, an owl, a monitor lizard, hissing cockroaches, and everyone’s favorite alligator, Izod! All who dared got to pet Izod after the show. If you were at the show, do you remember what kind of animal Poquita was? (Hint: she is a rodent and a member of the mouse and rat family). And by the way, our preschool storytime on Wednesday, August 6th will be about crocodiles and alligators. Join us!
