The Leonardo was a happening place tonight, on the last night of 2008. We had lots of silly hat-making with Youth City Artways, who also set-up computers in the lobby where folks to learn to make stop-motion" movies on computers. We also were selling delicious cookies, hot cocoa and coffee just inside the front doorway. Some comic relief was also on hand, with a gag toting chef who made balloon animals for all the kids.

Our friends from Movement Forum were here delivering their always amazing improv dancing. Around the corner on the same level we had kids doing ink and paper art, which was immediately plastered to the inner-walls by artist Libby Blake. And nearby from there Mr. Anatomy decided to make another appearance, where he was surrounded by curious BODY WORLDS visitors. And last but not least, storyteller Carol Esterreicher entertained folks in our sofa corner.

The Leo was definitely the place to be to bring in the new year.
