Missing Sodus What a great week! Did anyone get the new Harry Potter Book? It has 870 pages. (A great way for the kids to keep busy for a long time.) I've been told Harry is very different in this book - a lot of interesting changes. Don't forget to register for the fun Reading Program at the Williamson Library. Beginning June 30 and throughout the summer, kids who visit the Williamson Free Public Library will get an art box reading kit which includes a calendar of events, a reading log, a paint set and a foam picture frame to decorate and return to the library's art gallery. All participants can earn exciting prizes that include Memorial Art Gallery passes, colorful book bags and Eagle Ridge Sports coupons for buckets of balls & mini golf! Exciting FREE family programs this summer include: Storytimes for all ages, Kuk Sool Won Martial Arts Demo and Book Buddies will team up again with older kids to practice reading (pizza party included)! Also this summer, don't miss Jim McCarthy's sing-along, a Craft Fair with fun projects, Hip-Hop Dance Workshop, Culinary Arts Class for kids and a Pajama Storytime with milk & cookies. Young adults are welcome to experience Mehndi Art, a comic book swap, budding artist craft classes, freebies on Fridays and chances to win cool prizes The Lake Bluff campground has a lot of fun events for the 4th, including Mini Golf, a Costume Parade, Children's Face Painting, a Horseshoe Tournament and Bingo. At the Sodus Point Lighthouse on July 4, Gap Mangione and his Big Band will be playing and on Sunday, July 6 the Fingerlakes Symphony Pops Orchestra.
