On a summer evening nearly one century ago, the sound of a mandolin floated across the Mexican boxcar camp in West Eola. Played by young Julia Pérez Padilla, the music carried through rows of families who had come from Mexico to work for the railroads in Aurora. Fast forward to today, Julia’s mandolin will return — not as an instrument of entertainment, but as a centerpiece of a new program and exhibition at the Aurora Public Library District, inviting residents to learn about an important chapter of Aurora’s history.
This fall, families are invited to step into a world of wonder and imagination at the Aurora Public Library District. Firefly Family Theatre will return to present The Harvest Moon Puppet Show at the Santori Library, 101 S River Street, Aurora, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27. With puppets, music, and interactive storytelling, the show offers a joyful way for families to celebrate the season together (flannels and pumpkins optional)!
