Ms. Wagner's work seems to grow out of the Museum's walls and floor, reaching tentacles out across the gallery. The art is all crocheted, but the works in bold yellows, blues, greens and oranges look more like undersea creatures than booties. Ms. Wagner uses unusual materials - plastic bananas, copper tubing, and infant socks in creating her artwork. Menagerie will be on display at the Longmont Museum through May 26. The Longmont Museum is located at 375 Kimbark St. in downtown Longmont, Colorado.
Admission is free.

The City of Longmont's Youth Council has finished its first year on a high note and has many more plans for the upcoming year. The council, which is based on the school year rather than the calendar year, meets every other Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Some of the Youth Council highlights from the past year include hosting the 2000 Teen Night last March. The event, which was attended by over 200 Longmont youth, helped members of the local community learn about resources available to them from the City and other youth serving agencies.
