FINDING NEMO JR
APRIL 18TH - 21ST
A Great Show to bring the whole family too. Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-twinning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
An Evening with Blue Zones Explorer Tony Buettner - Creating a Blueprint for Our Sustainable Future
APRIL 20TH
Crandall Public Library is excited to share that in honor of Earth Day 2024, we will be hosting the national spokesperson for the Blue Zones Project, Tony Buettner. The Blue Zones Project, which was featured on the Netflix documentary Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones this past summer, is on a mission to empower communities to “live better, longer.” The project began with National Geographic Explorers, Dan and Tony Buettner’s’ exploration of the locations around the world (later named Blue Zones) where human longevity and vitality thrive.
Not only will Mr. Buettner be giving a visual presentation of “Blue Zones research on the longest-lived and healthiest places in the world”, he will also discuss how we can adopt Blue Zone lifestyle habits here in our own community. In the spirit of creating Sustainable Futures, this presentation will be the finale for the city-wide Glens Falls Sustainable Futures Earth Day Event. Mr. Buettner will be giving this introductory presentation at the Charles R. Wood Theater located at 207 Glen St, Glens Falls, NY from 6-7pm. Registration is required.
