Good morning Karen. I spent a glorious afternoon with my 2 granddaughter on Sat. at the City Hall sprinklers and wading pool. They had so much fun with all the children. Lots of laughter and relaxation just watching there enjoyment. Music was played the first time we were there which gave the children that creative boost. It was like little fairies gliding on top of water, it looked amazing for photos. Could piping in music be considered?

Hi Valerie,
I’m glad you and your granddaughters enjoyed the fountain at Market Square! We don’t generally play music at the square except for during special events, because it can potentially disturb staff working at City Hall and neighbours (especially when you consider that the the music has to be at a fair volume to be heard over the sound of the fountain.) But it is an option, as the square has a built-in sound system.
Regards,
Kate Sullivan

Thanks for telling folks about this, Karen. Last Friday, despite the heat, we had an audience of 30 to hear Sya VanGeest and me spin our tales. Actually, the breeze off the river swept away the heat, the ice tea quenched the thirsts and the hour was quite enjoyable for all.
I shall be telling again on July 13 with jenny Kapustra. If any of your readers want to know more about storytelling events they can contact me at briahols@yahoo.com
