We typically bring our clown car full of drums and percussion instruments for the children to play WITH our ventriloquist dummies.  Children are invited to play the Irish Bodhrán, Tahitian Toeré, Trinidadian mini-steel drum and many other percussion instruments also available for everyone.  ATTENTION CHILDREN:  Doug the Talking Dog will not bite you.  He only bites Mommies and Daddies.  However, he may try to bite your drumsticks, tambourine, or maracas that we distribute to everyone.

Martha Kruse, Laconia NH author and Phyllis L. Stibler, New Castle illustrator

Laconia NH author Martha Kruse and New Castle illustrator Phyllis L. Stibler have published two children’s book in a series featuring the natural world and history of NH with a young child’s curiosity and imagination. “Whispers on Winnipesaukee,” published in the fall of 2017, and “Whispers on the Seacoast,” published August 2018, cover ecology, conservation and activities that are special to our state. Kruse and Stibler have created an adult program (could be of interest to young adults who like to draw and write) that covers the learning curve of book publishing and the illustration process of inspiration/vision/technique. Program is approximately 60 minutes, with about 25 images, for groups of 10 to 60. The books are 44 pages, hard cover.
