Keeping Up With Kids

Durand has been having a fun summer, and has one more performer to rave about! Jim Mitchell, a magician from eastern WI, played to an audience of 150 in Durand. There were more adults in the crowd than kids, including a sizable group of senior citizens. Folks attending had many positive comments about the program, and if you check out the photos, you can see why!

Send in your stories and photos! We love to see what everyone is up to!
