Flagstaff

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about our great friends in Flagstaff. Even though we don't have our store open yet, we are continuing to host great kids events at the downtown public library, and we hope to see your family there. On August 30 at 10:30 a.m., we'll be hosting Fandango Puppet Making, and October 1, also at 10:30 a.m., we'll have Banned Books Story Time in honor of Banned Book Week. If you like puppets and freedom of speech, come on down and join us for both events; it'll be a party! We are proud sponsors of Pickin' in the Pines September 17, 18 and 19, so join us at Pickin' for free tee-shirts, visits with BOOKMAN (the superhero of reading), tote-bag decorating, and Chuck Cheesman's kids show, among other family-friendly fun.
