Get ready for high-energy, accordion-filled events! The Lake Agassiz Regional Library (LARL) is thrilled to present Pint Size Polkas, an interactive musical journey for the whole family, hosted by libraries and LINK Sites across the system’s seven-county region.

Led by award-winning accordion player Mike Schneider, Polka enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy clapping and singing along to the music in this interactive program which will also include magic, comedy and history as attendees travel back in time to visit heroes and legends of the past, such as Amelia Earhart, Casey Jones and Paul Bunyan.

The tour is geared toward children ages 5-11, but all ages are welcome to join the fun. Admission is free thanks to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
