If your kids have hit the mid-summer slump, we want to let you in on a little, local, 16 year old secret that gets kids dancing, jumping, and singing so much that they'll nap for the rest of the day. That's right... we're talking about the Toe Jam Puppet Band

If you've seen them before, you know their M.O. is silly, original songs full of sound effects, fake snow, bubble machines and crowd participation for ages Tiny Tot through Grandparent.  If you haven't seen them before and have young ones, we suggest you add at least one of their performances to your summer calendar.

Here's where you can catch their show from now through the end of the summer!
