Holiday Magic Show 
 

When: Tuesday, December 16th at 6:30 p.m.

Where:  Court House Library (Main Branch)

 

The Holidays are a wonderful time of year; full of magical stories, history, traditions, and lots of fun and surprises. Magician, Eric Dasher, has taken the theme of the holidays and created a magic show about the celebrations and traditions we have come to know and cherish.

 

The history of the Christmas tree and Chanukah and the reasons we celebrate them are explained in a fun and magical way. How Santa fits so much into his sack and how he magically enters you house are some of the things that are demonstrated and explained. Mr. Dasher even makes it a While Christmas complete with snow!

 

Join us at the Main Branch of the library in Cape May Court House for a magical holiday treat. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 16th. Bring the whole family!
