Treasure Beyond Measure

The Kasson Public Library provided a show called Treasure Beyond Measure for our weekly storytime program and invited “children of all ages” to come on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 and enjoy the show. 101 people came for the performance and thoroughly enjoyed the magic, fun and especially the message of the greatest treasure of all may not be what you expect.

Capt'n Curly, the performer recruited rookie pirates to help him find his father’s treasure. This performance was very funny and used audience participation, comedy, and magic. The program was a huge success and got rave reviews from the audience. One little five year old girl said, “It was the best time I ever had!”

We all know in these economic times money is short and families are struggling to provide free entertainment that their families will enjoy. I think this program provided all that and more. With this grant the library could provide family entertainment in our community. The library would not have had the funds available for this program but through the Arts and Culture Legacy Grant, provided by a vote of the people of Minnesota, this was possible and very much appreciated.

The Kasson Public Library and its service area of approximately 8500 people would like to thank the legislature and the people of Minnesota for funding the Minnesota Legacy Amendment. With this legacy amendment the libraries can partner with others to provide quality programs for their communities. Thanks for thinking of and supporting communities in southeastern Minnesota to have a wide variety cultural programs to share with their families.
