LEBANON, Maine - Children's entertainer and musical ventriloquist Kevin Driscoll will perform at Salmon Falls/Lebanon KOA on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Driscoll's mischievous 40" puppets Jerry and Jessica, Willie The Red Nosed Whiteboard, Doug The Talking Dog, Fred the Frog, Little Jerry, Uncle Charlie and all the Driscoll Dummies will perform with the children, residents, staff, and invited guests.

Children who volunteer to perform with the dummies will play different drums including the Irish bodhrán, Tahitian toeré, Trinidadian mini-steel drum, and many other percussion instruments. Children will also interactively learn about musical terms like tempo, dynamics, and crescendo while they are drumming with the Driscoll dummies.

Salmon Falls/Lebanon KOA is located at 21 Flat Rock Ridge Road in Lebanon.

Driscoll recently performed at the International ConVENTion of ventriloquists with Darci Lynn, the 12-year-old ventriloquist who went on to win a million dollars on TV's America's Got Talent. After Driscoll's performance at the Senior Ventriloquist competition, Darci's coach and producer Gary Owen said "Kevin, you're an outstanding performer. I love your stage presence. You're fun!"

Driscoll, who has taught music for many years, enjoys how his job allows him to combine three of his passions.

"This way I get to combine music, ventriloquism, and education." Driscoll said. "I get to do what I love, and I get to bring joy to the children and adults."

The show is free and open to the public. Salmon Falls/Lebanon KOA is located at 21 Flat Rock Ridge Road in Lebanon, Maine.
