The Kearny Public Library announces the return of The Spoon Man on Friday, March 26 at 4:00 p.m. Jim Cruise from Jenison, Michigan is called The Spoon Man because he plays old and new favorite songs on kitchen spoons. His impersonations and costume changes match each song that he plays. Jim's performance will include a audience participation: a sing-a-long competition and an opportunity to play in Jim's Mountain Band. No registration is necessary. At 318 Kearny Ave. Recommended for ages four and older.
