During the annual
workshop with Dr.
Thomas Moore,
there was an
opportunity for
everyone attending
to walk into the
Preschool Garden
at Bridgeport
United Methodist
Church for a
bubble blowing
extravaganza.
Participants were
given bubble
blowers to use
while Dr. Moore
sang and the local
Television network
recorded.
