Meghan Casey and Rocky Mountain Puppets will be performing at the library on Friday, July 21 at 1 p.m. In “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” a friendship celebration sounded like a good idea since Meghan and her pals have been friends for over a decade and all was well – until it came to picking out a theme for the party! A MASSIVE argument erupted in the group creating a divide and causing everyone to spiral out of control. The tension of this argument has made everyone realize that the value of friendship is more important than any party theme. While working together to mend the broken bond, Meghan, Aidan, Crush, Shooster, Cassie, Arnold, and Phil all learn that the true meaning of friendship is sticking with each other through thick and thin, no matter what! Plan to attend!
