With guitar in hand, Margie is referred to up and down the Connecticut Shoreline as the “Queen of Camp Songs” or the “Human Jukebox.” Just name a subject, and she is likely to have a song to cover it! Margie performs solo at town events, Girl Scout “Sup and Sings,” youth and family festivals, libraries, schools, churches and more. These shows are interactive, funny and energetic. Targeted to entertain 3- to 10-year olds and their families, she also performs campfire sing-a-longs for adults and teens that focus more on Folk and International Music. A proud member of the ASCAP, and CT Storytelling Center, www.connstorycenter.org, audiences can expect to laugh and act out story-songs like “Herman the Worm,” “Cole the Stinky Dog,” and “The Fun Family,” to name just a few! Check out the photos from the 2007 River Dog Music Festival! The Campfire Kids were there, too, for a rollicking good time!

• ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS can enjoy social development programs with a large range of subjects, including “Stop, Think, and Go!” about making good choices, and “Friendship Fun”, about how to be a good friend and dealing with bullies.

• LIBRARIES can promote the joy of reading with “Reading is Funtastic”, or customize any theme they like.

• SUMMER PROGRAMMING GETS A FRESH LOOK EVERY YEAR!
