    Twenty-thousand years ago, Earth was a wondrous, prehistoric world filled with great danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. To avoid a bad frostbite, the planet's majestic creatures - and a few small, slothful ones - begin migrating south. The story revolves around sub-zero heroes: a woolly mammoth, a saber-toothed tiger, a sloth, and a prehistoric combination of a squirrel and rat that is known as Scrat.

    Circulation Lobby

    We are pleased to welcome Jeff Snow for a concert that celebrates Celtic music. He combines the music, stories, and a wee bit of history from Scotland, Ireland, and England into a program that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There will be singing, laughing, clapping, and perhaps a bit of foot stomping. The concert is interactive; questions and input from the audience are encouraged and become part of the event. Celtic Culture is woven deeply throughout the fabric of America especially so in the Northeast. Jeff will also be performing familiar and perhaps not-so-familiar Christmas songs and tunes.
