Tour De Fleece
When: Saturday, July 9
Time: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Presented by: Members of the Washington Spinners and Weavers Guild

Each summer cyclists gather to conquer the Tour de France, a three week adventure of dedication, challenges and achieving personal and team goals. Another group of spinners gather in person and in online forums to do the same, but these wheels don't power bicycles. For the over 7,400 participants of last year's Tour de Fleece, the spinning wheels are for making yarn!

Members of the Washington Spinners and Weavers Guild will be bringing a little part of the Tour de Fleece to the Peters Township Public Library on Saturday, July 9 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Please join us for a chance to see several types of spinning wheels in action and watch the process from fiber to yarn. We'll even combine old technology with new by using the library's 3-D printer to make an old hand-spinning tool called a drop spindle!

No registration necessary; just drop in. Please contact the Washington Spinners and Weavers Guild at wswguild@gmail.com for more information.

The Sports and Fitness Magic Show
When: Saturday, July 16
Time: 2 - 2:45 p.m.
Presented by: Gregory Bracco
All ages welcome!

It's magic with a sports and fitness theme that excites, entertains and educates children.

The show includes audience participation, music, surprises, and of course magic, magic, magic! Please register.
