Some of my fondest memories are telling stories at the places that I would visit as a child! The library was built when I was still in Highschool and I can still remember walking to the library from school to research my projects. Being able to now visit and tell my tales? That’s just an honor!

I am super excited to bring you the newest Traveling Mystery Room! This one is a doozy! Alien Escape is coming to a library near you this summer – BUT – be one of the first to play THIS MONTH as it debuts at the Pembroke Library!

That’s right! Pembroke Library is hosting the premiere on May 27th at 4:00pm. Make sure to sign up today, this one is a doozy!

Back in the day, the Independence Mall – now the Kingston Collection – was such a great place to be! They used to release a newsletter called “S’Mall Talk” and I was featured in it for doing a show during April Vacation. I have told stories at the mall many times and I have to say, this was probably my favorite time.

Macy’s lasted the longest at the Kingston Collection as an anchor store. During it’s time, I took part in their event “Shop for a Cause” for many years. It was interesting as they usually placed me in the walkway outside of the children’s department. Makes sense, right? Except that the intimate apparel section was on the other side of that walkway.

So, I was telling my tall tales between kid’s clothes and lingerie!

I am posting this week a little early so that people have an opportunity to make plans to attend some or ALL of the things! I can’t wait to be back in Sherborn as well as Millis this week. I am also really excited about the Traveling Mystery Rooms that I am doing at both the Falmouth Library AND the Equanimity Seekers Massage space!

This was a visit to my actual elementary school – the one I was a student in all those years ago! I was trying out a new story called Pumpkinstein – one that I have since retired. It wasn’t that it didn’t totally work, honestly it was more the run time of the story. My longest story is ‘Timmy” which runs 20+ minutes and is meant for older elementary kids. Pumpkinstein ran about 35 minutes and was geared to a younger audience.

No amount of editing could fix it, even though I remember these children enjoying the story, it was just too long and too much story. Thank you to 2001 Ms. Lacava for allowing me to test out my new material!

A new week of stories and fun! I get to travel to Sherborn and Dover once again to share my stories with the kids there and then I get to visit the future teachers at the Southeastern Regional High School. I look forward to busy weeks and this year is just getting started!

I was blessed to be the inhouse entertainer for over a decade for the George Mitchell Elementary School for over a decade! I still miss going to this school and hope to get to go back in the future!

This was an illustration done by the art teacher, Mr. P, when he was still a 3rd grade teacher. I loved being able to visit for a week, seeing the same teachers year after year, and catching up with friends.

Just a day after Old Colony posted the first picture of me, the Halifax Reporter then gave me a glorious front-page pic and even, finally, attributed me with Big Ryan’s Tall Tales! Love this pic, love this moment! I love it even more reliving it 22 years later! I still remember this day and even that moment. I still visit this library almost yearly and look forward to it every time!
