“Laugh as much as possible, always laugh. It’s the sweetest thing one can do for oneself and one’s fellow human beings” -Maya Angelou.

This festival will feature 150 entertainers, including stand-up, improv, sketch, and musical performances. Times and sessions vary; check the link below for more details.

“A Unicorn, a Dinosaur, and a Shark Walk into a Book.” While this may sound like the beginning of a joke, it’s actually a hysterical childrens’ book, written by Jonathan Feske. This Sunday, all are invited to a personal reading of Feske’s book at M. Judson Booksellers. The entry price is $20 per family; this includes a copy of the book and a cookie for each child. In “A Unicorn, a Dinosaur, and a Shark Walk into a Book,” the characters are self aware that they are in a book, and they want out! Can the narrator convince them to stay?
