kids music that the whole family can enjoy, we are pleased to welcome

album, "Hug Trees."
With Hug Trees Tom brings his organic jazz and rootsy vibe to kids for the first time. Hug Trees, is an eco-friendly collection of songs, each of which focuses on getting children involved with their enviroment and enjoying nature. Whether gathering seashells, walking the dog or hugging a tree, Freund urges kids to get outside and keep it moving.

Also performing: Renee & Jeremy

Renee And Jeremy are a musical duo who
write and perform original music for the whole family. They will play
selections from their newest release:
"It's a big world,"
a collection of songs for all ages.Here is a little of what Renee & Jeremy have to say about this fantastic album:

"It all started with a simple idea, really: to make kids' music that adults could enjoy, not just tolerate - a collection of original songs for parents who appreciate the likes of Jack Johnson, Nick Drake, and Aimee Mann. The result is a treasure chest of luminous harmonies and sophisticated lullabies. Quiet time music for the whole family to enjoy together."

...And announcing CNI's Nature Fair

Adding to the excitement will be CNI'sNature Fair, a smaller version of their famous Nature Festival, traditionally held at Temescal Gateway Park. The Fair will feature activity and craft booths for kids of all ages. Kids will be able to dig for
