More Than Just A Dance - It’s A Party
20th & Final? Blues Bash Saturday
June 13, 2018
Great music, great food and surprise! Great weather! The Sons of the American Legion’s annual town party - The Dance went off without a hitch and got to bask in the glory of being Julian’s biggest event once again. The warm spring day was perfect for folks to hit the dance floor, lap up some tasty eats and basicly be entertained for an entire Saturday. Between bands the Air Guitar contest was the hit of the day with first the kids and then the adults doing their best rock star impressions.

Antonio "TJ" Johnson and Sylvia M’ Lafi Thompson are both multiple award winning actors, including the Critics Circle Craig Noel Awards.

To them all… I send love and continued success in all of their musical endeavors !! What a long strange trip it’s been ! I want you all to understand that this will be my …” Last Waltz ” …20 & Done! I hope to negotiate with another local promoter the possible continuance of the Julian Blues into the future… we’ll see… stay tuned… People’s priorities can sometimes change as they get older and hopefully a bit wiser! I will be taking my leave of absence to finally get myself and a few good friends into the studio to produce the record I’ve wanted to make for years now ! After all…we ain’t getting any younger, and I feel that now is the right time to focus on my own music and get it down as my own personal legacy… and for my family and friends! So…this year will be an outstanding performance of many musical friends, and an Allstar Jam Session…that will not soon be forgotten! This year’s performing artists will consist of…

Heart And Hooves Therapy
Please join us at the Julian Library as we continue to celebrate our Summer Learning Program on Thursday, June 14 at 11 AM. We are pleased to welcome back Melissa Sargent, Owner and CEO of Heart and Hooves Therapy. She will be bringing a couple of special guests with her; 2 of her miniature therapy horses.
Heart and Hooves therapy is a non-profit public charity founded in March 2014. Their goal is to enhance the lives of children and adults, of any age and with any abilities using a different kind of therapy! They use AAA (animal assisted activities) and AAT (animal assisted therapy) to offer on-site sessions and off-site visits with their mini horses and other animals. They are based out of Ramona, and do work with many different organizations including the county libraries, Ramona senior center, Escondido Post-Acute care, and local hospitals. We will also have the opportunity to meet, pet, take photos, and paint them! Melissa will be bringing special paints and sponges so everyone can help paint the horses. We are excited to have Melissa, her horses, and Heart and Hooves therapy join us at the Julian Library. We hope you can join us too, on Thursday, June 14 at 11 AM out on the grass next to the Library! Heart and Hooves Therapy enhances the lives of children and adults, any age and ability with a different kind of therapy! We use mini horses and other farm animals to offer AAA (animal-assisted activities) and AAT (animal assisted therapy) with on-site sessions and off-site visits to San Diego County. The on-site session we teach basic horse safety, learning basic body parts and grooming, foot care and educational learning based on the child’s age! We implement games to help with the educational aspect which also teaches the children confidence, courage, and respect. Off-site visits offer a one of a kind experience for our patients and their families. We provide one mini horse and handler to come and visit as well as help lift spirits and bring joy to those who can benefit most from our visits. We also educate our patients during our visits on basic horse care, safety and more. We are different than a lot of other business or nonprofits because we serve any and all from A typical children to ADD to wheelchair-bound to OT, PT and speech goals. We also travel to Children’s hospital, Ronald Mc Donald House, Casa De Amparo, senior centers, assisted living facilities, libraries, hospice patients and more to visit with residents, family members and staff. For more information, please contact the Library at 760-765-0370, check out our Facebook page @SDCL.julianbranch, or check out the library’s online calendar at www.sdcl.org. We are located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian CA 92036.
