July 21, 2023Nature Song and Family Sing-Along fun!
Joanie Calem led a nature themed family sing-along concert for our park district summer concert series. The night was exactly what we were aiming for. Our multi-generational audience clapped, sang, and smiled along the whole time. Joanie's authentic and casual presentation felt magnetic, and little kids were up on stage with her the whole time showing off their interpretive dance skills. Adorable! Thank you, Joanie.
