Meet the Library Beastie
I  f you look outside the window in the Children’s
   Area, or walk along the path between the
library and the Civic Center, you might notice
a big and brightly colored…what IS it, exactly?
Meet the Beastie!
Our new friend is a fiberglass sculpture designed
by Wisconsin artist Dennis Pearson. Pearson’s
Beasties are abstract animal forms in all shapes,
sizes, and colors. They were introduced in
Milwaukee, but have popped up as public art
installations across America and around the world.
In 1987, President Reagan even invited them
to exhibit on the White House lawn during the
annual Easter Egg Roll.
Our own Beastie was donated by longtime
Sussex resident Sue Howard. It features the
artist’s signature (and one of his signature Beastie
drawings) along with the handprints of Mrs.
Howard’s grandchildren. We are honored that
Mrs. Howard thought we would be a good home
for her Beastie. Be sure to stop by and have a look
when you are at the library!

                    Showcase Dance
                    Showcase Dance is a school-year program that offers combo classes including both Tap and Ballet/Jazz. Techniques learned will be incorporated into fun routines to explore
                    musicality, rhythm and expression. For the tap/ballet classes, dancers need both tap shoes and ballet/jazz shoes (the style/color does not matter). For the Pom classes, dancers
                    need ballet or jazz shoes only. The class concludes with an all-program recital on March 13, 2021, where dancers show off what they’ve learned over the course of the year. Cos-
                    tume purchase for the recital is required and cost will be determined once classes are set. No-class dates will be determined by the instructor and handed out at the beginning
                    of the year. For specific questions, please email Dance Coordinator Jenny Barnhart at jbarnhart@villagesussex.org.
