Dinosaur Adventure Show at Cuba Library on July 3
Come to the Cuba Library on Wednesday, July 3 at 10 a.m. as Mike and Roberta Straka present the Dinosaur Adventure Show. They will explain how they became interested in science and in the work of a scientist. The presentation will feature Mr. Nixon, an eight-foot Triceratops skull discovered by the team in 1996 and examine the characteristics of this dinosaur. Audience members will experience the thrill of digging up a real Triceratops dinosaur bone and then help construct a dinosaur on a large cut-out. Audience participation, a touch of magic, and show and tell with rare fossils will round out this fun, education, and exciting adventure! As an added attraction, Mike and Roberta will set up a mini-museum, showcasing photos and minerals from their summer digs in South Dakota!
This program is funded by a grant from United Way of Cattaraugus and Allegany County.
Haudenosaunee Storyteller Perry Ground at Cuba Library on July 6
On Saturday, July 6 at 11:00 a.m. the Cuba Circulating Library will host Master Storyteller Perry Ground for Stories from People of the Longhouse. This storytelling presentation is filled with traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs, and history of the Haudenosaunee people. The Storyteller will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice, and a VERY active stage presence. These stories become ‘interactive’ as Perry is known to include audience members in the stories. Elements of traditional Haudenosaunee lifestyle, pieces of historical information and LOTS of humor are woven into each story. Discussion about the Haudenosaunee culture and the art of storytelling is also part of this program. Not just for children, all listeners (young and old), will find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational.
This program is funded by Friends of the Cuba Library, Inc.
