Rockabye Beats, Music Concert
July 18th, 10:30am, ages 1-6
Rockabye Beats is a music concert for you and your child. It is hands-on learning through music, dancing, Spanish, and fun. Our songs and activities create the foundation for music appreciation and also foster a deeper bond between children and their caregivers. While the concert is entirely in English, we do sprinkle in some Spanish vocabulary to harmonize with our island beats. We inspire our niños (and you!) to sing, dance, move, ask questions, learn other languages, and play while at the same time introducing them to musical ideas such as melody, rhythm, tempo, and pitch. Come dance, sing, and get a little loco with us!
Program is free but canned-good donations will be gratefully accepted for the Wrentham Food Pantry.  Register at the circulation desk or call 508-384-5440.
This program is funded by a grant from the Wrentham Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Star Wars Trivia Night
WHEN : Thursday, July 25th , 6:15-7:45 pm
AGES : Tweens, teens and adults are welcome to join us for an exciting event.
Sign up at the circulation desk.  Program is free but canned-good donations will be gratefully accepted for the Wrentham Food Pantry.  This program is supported with a grant from the SWEATT FUND.
Presented by Challenge! Trivia, and brothers Brett and Nik Outchcunis, this is not your standard live trivia event. A big screen projects all of the questions and answers. You can answer the questions right from your phone! No more running a scrap piece of paper up to the host… just chill with your team and submit your answers before the time is up. Standard trivia nights are usually just a set of questions and a halftime quiz… there’s no real interactivity. In Challenge! Trivia, we run multiple team challenges during each episode that get you up out of your seat and mingling with other teams. Also, we have audio and video questions that add an additional interactive element to the night. Scoring is automated, accurate and displayed on the big screen for everyone to see.

THE UNLIKELY STRUMMERS
Saturday, Sept. 21 -- 10:30am
"We're a big happy family of ukulele players from across southern Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island.  Our group began in 2017, and we've been strumming our way around the region ever since!   We've played at events from festivals to farmers markets to movie nights"  
This is definitely not your great-grandfather's ukulele music!  The ukulele is a surprisingly versatile instrument that's suited to almost any genre, from 1920s "standards" to early rock-n-roll, and from country to contemporary top 40s hits.  You never know what we might play next!
The Unlikely Strummers provide family-friendly music that will make you want to sing - or dance - along! No matter what your age, we'll leave you smiling!
This program is supported with funds from the Friends of the Fiske.
