With the help of some volunteers, kids will learn what it’s like to explore space and the Apollo technology used on earth today.
The Chester Public Library welcomes Chris Camp, “The Whip Guy”, on Wednesday, June 8 at 1 p.m.
This event will be held at St. John Parish Hall (corner of High and W. German Streets) where there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the program complete with science, history, and the folklore of whip cracking along with cool stunts and musical whips of wonder.
All ages welcome!
