Cowboy performer recommendations
by Sheila Bissonnette 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Happy Friday everyone! I am working on a project to host a library hoe down next fall. We are looking for recommendations for cowboy or wild west performers for a children's day (or family event). We have a few ideas for games and activities. The event will be held at a local ranch and they will be offering horse back rides. We are trying to come up with other types of entertainment that would fit in with the "cowboy" ranch theme. Any ideas/suggestions/recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated. Have a great weekend!!!

Rescues From the Wrecks "Regulations say we have to go out. They don't say we have to come back." That was the United States Life-Saving Service's unofficial motto. Great Lakes life-saving crews rowed to save shipwrecks in a surfboat or used small cannons to shoot a rope to the wreck. No matter how dangerous the weather, orders required them to go out. In 1915, the Life-Saving Service and the Revenue Cutter Service merged to become the United States Coast Guard.

Sesay was born in England and at the age of seven moved with her family to her parents' homeland of Sierra Leone.

Last year alone more than 25,000 viewers joined us live as we announced the best of the best in literature for youth. We are grateful for Baker & Taylor’s support as we continue to work to foster a love for reading and a nation of avid readers.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/11/baker-taylor-sponsor-2019-al… ALA Announces Emerging Leader Participants for Class of 2019 The American Library Association (ALA) has selected 50 people to participate in its 2019 class of Emerging Leaders.
