A DAY IN THE PARK

On Saturday, March 22nd, during the annual Spring Fling Egg Hunt at Empire Fulton Ferry State Park & Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Storybook Theater for Children, led by Billy Wood, presented musical selections from past shows and from the current show, Mother Nature's Seasons – With Whoosh-Crackle-Drip. Over 10,000 children (with their parents in tow) searched for the ever-elusive eggs, and then spent their time on a beautiful (albeit chilly) day listening to the music and the storytellers. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
