Fridays On The Green To Close Season With Puppet Show

FRANKFORT, IL — Fridays on the Green comes to a close for the season Friday, and the Frankfort Public Library District is inviting children and families to a free special puppet show to celebrate the summer program.

For its final show, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Breidert Green in downtown Frankfort, Noah Ginex Puppet Company will be entertaining guests with its wide variety of cute and cuddly characters.

The return of Noah Ginex Puppet Company is a special occasion for fans of the library, as the puppet company was the last big event at the library before it closed during the pandemic.

"We have invited him back now that we are open and doing events again," said Youth Librarian Emily Meszaros.

Families are encouraged to bring their own blankets and chairs for the outdoor seating. In the event of poor weather, the show will be moved indoors to the Frankfort Public Library District, 21119 S. Pfeiffer Road.

Even though Fridays on the Green is ending for the season, the library's Summer Reading Program continues through the end of July.

Readers earn raffle tickets that can be used for a chance to win a family membership to the Shedd Aquarium, or a $100 gift card for Emagine Frankfort, or a $100 gift card for Amazing Fantasy Books & Comics, Meszaros said.
