September 15, 2026Zounds the Clown came for the third time to our annual church parish picnic. He is always a great favorite of all- young to old wear his colorful balloon flowers, necklaces, rings, crowns and carry his puppies, kittens and play swords.
This year as soon as he arrived, it started to rain. No problem for Zounds, he set up shop under his umbrella.
When the rain got serious, he simply moved his equipment inside and continued making his magic balloons.
He is a gracious, kind and wonderful presence every year- and the rain will not stop him!
One child asked him, "will you be sure to be back next year?"
Thank you, Zounds. See you next year.

August 3, 2026We had Zounds out for our summer reading finale. It was a small crowd due to the weather and the size of our town/library, but the attendees had a great time! Zounds was great with the kids. It was an excellent way to round out our summer!
