“Family Fun
Day” at Library
Each summer the Friends of the Greenville Public Library and the
Greyson James Steyer Memorial Fund sponsor seven weeks of “Family Fun
Day” Wednesdays at 11:00. Each program features a top-notch
performer who is entertaining for all age groups. Bring a blanket
or lawn chair and enjoy the show on the front lawn under the shade
trees.
Kick off summer on June 6th with world-renowned magician Gordon Russ
who combines fast-paced comedy with lots of audience participation.
“This year I’ve assembled a crazy cast of characters who go on a
hilarious Magical Tour full of funny situations.“ Traveling
through Europe, Australia and China, Gordon has brought his unique
brand of illusion to thousands of people across the globe.
In case of inclement weather the First Congregational Christian Church
on 5th Street generously offers us their Activity Building. Be
sure to stop in the Library June 1st to sign up for Summer Reading for
kids, teens, and adults. It's easy and the prizes are
amazing!
His national performances include Playland amusement park in Rye, New
York, the Downers Grove Festival in Chicago, the Toledo Zoo as well as
numerous other US venues. When working his magic, Gordon specializes in
Schools, Libraries, Art Fairs, Festivals, and Corporate events; his
special style of street magic never fails to draw a crowd.

While on his continuing travels around the Mid-West, Gordon has been
seen at the Ann Arbor Art Fair, the East Lansing Art Fair, Grosse
Pointe’s Art on the Pointe, and the Liberty Festival in Canton. He has
entertained the fans at Joe Louis Arena for the Detroit Red Wings’
Skate with the Stars, and graced the stage at the Macomb Center for the
Performing Arts. One of Gordon’s most memorable moments came when his
magic was requested at a private performance for former world
heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali.
Gordon’s introduction to the world of magic came early. He learned the
art of illusion from his father, who made sure magic was an everyday
part of growing up. Gordon currently resides in Michigan with his wife
Cyndi and his two sons Gordon and Tanner.
