Stop by for Summer Reading fun and have your face painted!

It's a bird.  It's a plane.  No, it's Mark Wood!

The Mark Wood Fun Show is a 40-minute program designed for children of all ages.  Mark uses comedy, magic, juggling and audience participation to produce super-exciting and entertaining shows.

Superhero Mark Wood loves to read books and uses his super-human powers to ward off the evil Eraser, who tries to remove all the words from books around the world!
