He's back! Mr. Twister will perform his Balloon Twisting, Magic and Juggling Show.

"Mr. Twister's summer reading program for 2007 was outstanding. The way he worked the summer theme into his entertainment program was appeciated by the librarian. The enthusiasm of the kids was contagious and spread to the adults and librarians present. If his next program is half as good as this one was, don't miss it."
