Howls of laughter and exclamations of amazement filled the Salmar Grand for much of the lunch hour Sunday as magician Leif David helped the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) kick off Unplug and Play week.

LASS hosted the Okanagan magician and his playful family friendly show at the theatre on Jan. 23, the second day of free Unplug and Play events that are taking place throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap in celebration of Family Literacy Week, Jan. 22 to 29.
