Dan Staples is an award-winning balloon artist and entertainer based out of Nashua, NH.  Dan has been a balloon artist for 3 years, twisting at corporate events, birthday parties, baby showers, and holiday events.  Dan’s Balloons was created as a place to share fun artwork with people who need a smile.

At the end of the show, the Kona Ice truck from Kona Ice of NH will be parked outside the Library. Bring some money to enjoy a cold treat and you can help support the Library – if Kona Ice makes enough in sales, they will donate part of their profits to the Library!
