                       Mouse knows it's going to be "one of those days". Before he even has a chance to eat breakfast on this rainy morning, he almost becomes breakfast for a red-tailed hawk. When he gets washed into the Tulpehocken Creek, there's no telling where he'll wind up and who he'll meet. Come see this water-logged adventure and afterwards get a chance to make a shadow puppet and mini-theater for your own productions, $2.00/person
