NITZEL: Children can move to the music June 30

Mr. Mac is bringing music and movement to the Crestview Public Library.

Michael J. McCartan, an educator who teaches kids to get in shape with music, will entertain 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 30 at the library, 1445 Commerce Drive.

This is usually our time for Summer Stories, which are for ages 6 and up. But we will open the library up to all ages as we:

•Move to original Mr. Mac Says children’s physical activity music

•Perform hand drumming with wooden Tiki drums

•Review a brief history of drumming with cadences to today's popular patriotic songs

•Sing patriotic songs

•Work as a team to perform a variety of parachute activities

•Conclude with Fourth of July beach activities such as the limbo and hula hoops.

We’d like to thank the Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative for funding this event, so it is free for you!

Visit www.mrmacsays.com for more details about Mr. Mac. Call Heather at 682-4432 with questions.

Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.
