The four boys and 11 girls, ranging in age from 19 down to four, were real crowd-pleasers. The satisfac- tion was not all one-sided, though, the Leahys found the situation so enjoyable they asked if they could come back again. Alma heard many favourable comments after- ward about the Kids on the Block puppets whose matter of fact presentation from the point of view of the handicap- ped was an impressive lear- ning experience for both the parents and the children wat- ching the show. For the first time, an act with direct appeal to the youngsters and teenagers was booked. The Rainbow Cy- cle team, young men from the corresponding age group, did amazing things with their bikes.
