Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers: “The Legend of the Banana Kid”

Everyone is invited to a free performance of “The Legend of the Banana Kid” by the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers on Tuesday, August 24, at 6:00 p.m., on the library lawn. The rain date will be the next day, same time. In this story, Little Chucky heads to the Wild West to outwit outlaws in this cowboy adventure. With a fistful of bananas, Chucky rides into town on his trusty goat for a showdown with Big Bad Bart and his gang of bandits.
