EVERY HERO HAS A STORY- Magic Show with Steve Wronker! 
Friday, July 31
10:30 am - 11:30 am

Who is a Hero? Magician Steve Wronker believes there are four kinds of heroes:

 

1. Daily Heroes like those who serve as police officers, fire fighters, EMTs, and members of the armed forces.


2. Leader Heroes who make an impact in their field of work. This may include political figures, scientists, inventors, and exceptional athletes.

 

3. Unexpected Heroes who inspire us when they do the right thing to help others. Anyone can be an unexpected hero. Sometimes it only takes an act of kindness toward someone else.

 

4. Fictional Heroes who are created in the minds of writers to entertain and inspire us.

 

This 45 minute show will capture the best qualities of those 4 kind of heroes. Each piece of magic will incorporate a story line behind each hero. The magic will include comedy, lots of audience participation in the use of many volunteers, music and more! Also the finale is a very special magic presentation in honor of the men and women of our armed forces.


This program is free and is open to
kids of all ages.

NO registration is required for this program.
