Monroe County Library
is again offering a summer
full of programs and activi
ties for all ages. The grand
kick-off for the Summer
Childrens Activities was
Tuesday, June 5 with over
a hundred children, plus
caregivers, older siblings
and helpers enjoying the
introduction of the 2018
musical theme, “Libraries
Rock.”
The inaugural program
for the season was two
hours (two programs)
rather than the one-hour
allowed for most of the
programs. First Dr. Magical
Balloons (Dewayne Reyn
olds of Auburn, Ala.) cre
ated musical instruments
from balloons and enlisted
audience members to join
his musical performances
for the group. The children
weren’t too quick to recog
nize older rock songs, even
Elvis, but named vocalists
nearer their generation,
like Katy Perry and Justin
Bieber, almost before the
notes hit the air. Following
the high energy program of
Dr. Magical Balloons, chil
dren could visit tables with
various types of instru
ments and try their hands
(and mouths and ears) at
them.
Ms. Ann demonstrated
the range of music one can
make with a keyboard.
And R.J. Reynolds, Randy
Buffington and Dana Har
ris, who play together in a
band in Macon, demon
strated the magic they can
make with various stringed
instruments, from guitar to
banjo. There were glasses to
tap for tones and instru
ments to shake, rattle, beat
and blow. There were even
kazoos to take home.
On Thursday, June 7 the
Monroe County Club
house behind the Library,
where most of the sum
mer programs take place,
was filled with children
again as Monroe County
Farm Bureau presented
a program about milk,
complete with complimen
tary servings of ice cream.
Children were invited to
wear their favorite cos
tumes to the program, and
little princesses, cowboys,
mermaids, superheroes,
pro athletes, cheerleaders
and fairies were there to
learn about milk and enjoy
ice cream. Melissa Mathis
read a story about Louella,
a cow who needed a kiss
to give milk, and told the
young audience some in
teresting facts about milk,
like that a dairy cow gives
six gallons of milk per day.
The Monroe County Farm
Bureau served 120 cups of
ice cream at the event.
Childrens Librarian
Tracy Brinkman urged the
children to get their own
library cards if they did
not already have them. She
also encouraged them to
sign up for the Summer
Reading Program, which
includes a goody bag with
registration, and to read
this summer. She said
that last summer Monroe
County children logged
7,000 hours of reading, a 50
percent increase over the
previous year.
“You blew my socks offT
she said. “That’s why I’m
always barefoot.
Brinkman said the goal
for this summer is 10,000
hours of reading. She

said she will change her
hair color from blonde to
rainbow if they reach the
goal and will even go for
for a long mohawk if they
exceed the goal.
“I’ll say the kids made me
do it,” said Brinkman. “You
have enough on your team
to make me do it.”
There will be special
programs for children
each Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday at 11 a.m.,
including Lego Learning,
Hot Dog Day, karate and
magic. There will also be
times to learn Spanish in
the afternoon and evening.
Special programs for
teens are planned each
Tuesday, including a visit
from Game Time Gaming
Truck on June 19 at 1 p.m.
And there are even adult/
family activities planned,
such as movies, karaoke,
trivia, bingo and Zumba.
No one can say there aren’t
fun things to do in Mon-

Juliette gets marker on Ocmulgee Water Trail
By Gilda Stanbery
Executive Director, Forsyth
CVB
Ocmulgee Water Trail
Representative Kit Car-
son presented Juliette
River Club with Juliette’s
river sign at its meeting
on Thursday, July 7. The
new signs on the river let
those traveling the water
ways know where they are
in proximity to cities and
other landmarks, and the
signs have coordinates to
help river goers navigate.
The first river sign for
Monroe County was
installed at Popes Ferry
Landing. Pope’s Ferry
Landing is River Mile
212.8, and Juliette Dam
Landing is River Mile
233.3.
Monroe County’s part
of Ocmulgee River is now
connected to the Ocmulgee
Water Trail. The plan is to
create a water trail all the
way up to the Yellow River,
where it flows into Lake
Jackson. The Yellow River
Trail runs 53 miles from
there to Gwinnett County,
northeast of Atlanta.
The Ocmulgee Water
Trail ran about 200 miles
from Macon to Lumber
City, where the Ocmulgee
joins the Oconee before
flowing into the Altamaha
River. But now Monroe and
counties north of it have
joined the Ocmulgee Water
Trail Partnership to add
another 50 miles of beauti
ful, navigable waterways for
people to enjoy by kayak
and canoe.
The OWTP website,
maps, and other collateral
are under revision and will
soon include Monroe
County. This 250-plus mile
Ocmulgee Water Trail is
a premier destination for
paddlers and river enthu
siasts that will provide
a variety of recreational
activities and promote local
and regional economic
improvements. Website:

Georgia River Network’s
Paddle Georgia event will
come to Monroe County
Thursday, June 21st. An
estimated 300 River enthu
siasts will portage at Juliette
and take a little while to
sample the charm of the
town beside the river. Mon
roe County is looking for
ward to their arrival, and is
glad the signage will be in
place when Paddle Georgia
arrives.
A big thanks goes to the
Monroe County Com
missioners for joining the
OWTP and to Forsyth
Convention & Visitors
Bureau, Monroe County
manager Anita Buice
and Carson for working
together to get the signs
made and in place. See you
on the river in Monroe
County!
