🎙️ This week on Hot Seat: Media Monday, things get wildly creative!
We sit down with the vibrant Lorraine Kreimeyer—artist, storyteller, and the brilliant mind behind the whimsical Mr. Figby! She dives into how creativity fuels healing and self-expression at any age, and gives us the scoop on her upcoming can’t-miss event at Dunham Public Library. Also pulling up a seat is author Dave Dellecese, who takes us on a ride through the power of storytelling—how it connects us, inspires us, and dances dangerously close to the edge of nostalgia. (Is it a cozy memory or a creative trap? Let’s find out!)
And in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we’re joined by Sheila Dion from Erin’s Angels, a true force for good working to protect and empower children in our communities.
✨ It’s a jam-packed episode about resilience, passion, finding joy, and using our voices—and art—to make a difference. Tune in and get inspired! 🎨📚💙
Lorraine Kreimeyer will appear at the Dunham Public Library in Whitesboro on Friday, April 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The event is free and open ot all ages, children, adults, and families. Mr. Figby, the elf puppet, will amuse and inspire creativity! More info: Facebook Event Listing and Utica OD Follow Lorraine Kreimeyer at https://www.instagram.com/larainbo/.
