August 4 Story Time at Mars Hill Coffeehouse

Hello, reading fans.

I just love this photo because it was taken at the first Story Time at Mars Hill Coffeehouse in Hollister. These are two young fans who came dressed up for our Buccaneer Bay-Pirates theme on July 14.

The next story time is Let's GO! Cars, Planes, Trucks and Trains. We'll be talking about everything that moves, floats, flies--you name it. There will also be some great giveaways.. like toy Hot Wheel cars and some passes to Casa de Fruta for their cool mini train ride. Go to http://www.casadefruta.com/ to learn more about this great spot in Hollister, and to find out about Casa de Choo-Choo.

I'm also pleased because we will have Hollister resident Bob Peck on hand sharing his model trains, and Drive Rite Driving School is lending some street signs for us to use as props.

A wonderful woman, Renea Magnani, a consultant with Usborne Books & More has donated two very sweet books, "That's Not My Car," and "That's Not My Tractor." If you want to check out these books, or order from her, her URL is www.ubah.com/x1994.

But remember.. the reading is the best part! We will be there August 4 at 1:30, but get there early, or stay late, to take a look at the model trains and talk with Bob about becoming a model train enthusiast!

Part of my plan is to continue doing story time programs throughout the year, but most likely on the weekend.

If you have questions, or would like to have me perform at your event or venue, please send me an email to Jengelha@aol.com.

Happy Reading!

PS.. a very nice article appeared in our local paper, the Free Lance, which I just have to share. Thank you, Melissa Flores: http://www.pinnaclenews.com/news/contentview.asp?c=272585
