Please come join Jim Jackson (Art Guffaw) of the Millibo Art Theater for the last Family Entertainment Program performance of the 2014 season.

The performance will be held on Wed., Jul. 16, at 2:00 p.m. at the Cortez Public Library.

Jim presents an hour of circus silliness and gigantic bubbles. You’ll be laughing on the floor when Art brings his soapy mix of bubbles and hilarious mayhem to the library as part of the fizz of our Fizz! Boom! Read! theme.

This performance is brought to you, at no charge, by Golden Dreams through Onward! A Legacy Foundation.
