Presenting the Parasol Puppets
The Parasol Puppets will add a holiday twist to a classic tale at Atchison Public Library when they give a FREE performance of the festive handpuppet show, THE GINGERBREAD MAN’S CHRISTMAS. This delightful puppet show will be performed on Saturday, December 17th when we celebrate the Christmas holiday with “Breakfast With Santa” from 10:00 a.m. to noon.
When Mrs. Claus bakes a special cookie for Santa, the Gingerbread Man decides that he doesn’t want to get eaten! He hops off of the cookie sheet and begins his sing-a-long adventure. Of course, Santa will be on hand to offer other stories, plus fun crafts and other activities. This special event is free, but space is limited and you’ll need a ticket to attend. You can get your FREE ticket at the circulation desk. Contact Holly Hutchinson, Youth Services Librarian, at 913-367-1902 for more information.
