The was honored to be a part of the 's Independence Day event and bring our Music Van Program to share with the community. One of our goals is to introduce and inspire young people to take an interest in music. Through the Music Van Program, our musical petting zoo allows children, and adults, to see, touch and play a variety of instruments.

Music is vital for both children and adults because it stimulates brain development and memory, serves as a powerful outlet for emotional expression and stress relief, and fosters deep social connections across all ages.

Thank you to our friends at the Sherwood Country Club for inviting us to participate. It was a great event!
