Haven’t had a chance to catch Professor Banjo in action at Milagros? You have one more chance! His last Milagros show is tomorrow (Wednesday, March 16) at 1pm!
In real life he is Paul Silveria but on stage the Professor performs solo banjo in the old time “claw hammer” style. His songs range from up tempo instrumentals and novelty tunes to country blues and moody mountain ballads. Sometimes the Professor dons a special one man band kite with drum, tambourine, kazoo, bell, spoons and more!
$3 suggested donation per walking human for the artist.

We now offer our FREE Cloth Diapering 101 twice a month at Milagros!
In response to demand, we have added a second regular session of our intro to cloth diapering class. The Cloth Diapering 101 classes at Milagros are casual gatherings where participants learn all about cloth diapering and get hands-on advice on diapering choices from one of Milagros’ expert staffers. It is also a chance to meet other parents who are using cloth diapers or thinking about it.
There has definitely been a renewed interest in traditional cloth diapering due to it being the most environmentally friendly and natural option for infant hygiene as well as the least expensive (I guess other than going diaper free). Cloth diapering choices are pin-free and easy and you can save thousands of dollars just by choosing cloth diapers over disposable options.
Cloth Diapering 101 at Milagros is free and no RSVP is required. Next class is Sunday, February 13 at 11am.
