Trailside’s Wednesday Matinee

Mountainside, NJ – Trailside’s recent Wednesday Matinee attracted a full house. Adults and children delighted at the antics of the Grand Falloons presentation of “Professor W’s Earth Science Circus – What a Gas!” Through songs, dance, magic, poems and audience participation, the Grand Falloons presented information on the earth’s atmosphere, the carbon cycle and ways we can make a positive impact on the earth. Assisting Professor Winklebottom (second from left) and Mr. Meatloaf (second from right) are Jordan (left) and Kyle (right) Stapinski and Sabella Garcia (third from left) and Gabriela Esteves (third from right) of Elizabeth. The program was made possible with funding from “Clean Communities.”
