Closing our SRC with balloons!

-
To bring our Summer Reading Club to a close, we had a party!  Our special guest was Rob Holladay, the Magical Balloon Guy!


The Magical Balloon Guy is a great friend to the El Paso libraries.  He loves books and he started the show with a pledge to read more books!
Behold the transformative powers of the Magical Balloon Guy!  Are those the Ninja Turtles?  And Shredder?  Why yes they are!


In addition to be being magical with balloons, the Magical Balloon Guy has puppet friends!  This sassy blue dude had the kids roaring with laughter:


And here's a knight, a princess, and an adorable fire breathing dragon!  The Magical Balloon Guy has his fire extinguisher ready to go:


The Chicken Dance!  The lady wearing the frog hat on the left is our very own President of the Friends of the Sergio Troncoso Library, Ms. Emma!  Get funky, Ms. Emma!


The Magical Balloon Guy gave many balloon creations to our little library patrons.  There was a helicopter:



A fancy little fly:


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael:



And here's our little fire breathing dragon!



We'd like to give a big thank you to Rob Holladay, the Magical Balloon Guy.  He put on a great show for us.  And another big thank you to our patrons for participation in this year's Summer Reading Club!  You're the best!
