Family magic show to support McHenry food pantry
Magician extraordinaire Kevin Sarnwick will be performing a fun-filled magic show for families with young children on Saturday, March 15, at the Tree of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation in McHenry. It will begin at 10 a.m. at the church, 5603 Bull Valley Road. All families are welcome.
The event is free to the public, however, each family attending the show is encouraged to bring either a nonperishable food or personal care item in support of the FISH of McHenry Food Pantry. FISH, which stands for Friends in Service Here, has been helping provide emergency food and supplies for disadvantaged residents of McHenry since 1973.
Featured performer Kevin Sarnwick of Crystal Lake is known for his entertaining and mind-boggling children’s magic shows using sleight of hand, psychology, and misdirection. The children who attend his shows are thoroughly amazed by his magic tricks and leave his shows with big smiles on their faces.
“I think this is a really unique opportunity for children and their families to do something good for the community and have fun at the same time,” said Chaplain Dave Becker, minister for Tree of Life. “We are so pleased to host this event and so proud of the volunteers who have put it together.”
