I will be performing at the Cranberry Harvest Fesitval on both Saturday AND Sunday!  I hope everyone comes – it is an amazingly grand time!  Saturday is supposed to be a bit wet outside but, to me, that only makes events that much better.  Shorter lines = more time for fun!  But, like I said, I will be there on both Sat. and Sun. with shows at 11:00am, 12:00pm and 3:00pm.  I will be in the children’s area – so come on by and hear some tales!  It will be so much fun!

Come to the Kingston Mall today at 1:00pm where I will be performing!  I will be telling stories and making all the kiddos laugh with my puppet friends!  You know, the usual amazing show.  If I do say so myself.  Click the image abe for more information.

I know it’s sort of late for a “This Week” but since my week technically doesn’t start until my first show of the week – which is tomorrow – then I should still be good to go.  So here it is – my week’s rundown of all the shows I am doing:

• Wednesday – 10:30AM – Rowley Public Library, Rowley, MA
• Wednesday – 6:30PM – Ventress Memorial Library, Marshfield, MA
• Thursday – 5:30PM – Uphams Corner Library, Dorchester, MA
• Saturday – 1:00PM – Independence Mall, Kingston, MA

All of these shows are free to the public to attend and hope to see everyone there!  Make sure you come early!  All of these shows celebrate the fall and back to school!  Click on the show you’d like to attend for more information.

Also, I have been invited back to the Cranberry Harvest Celebration in October – this event is one of my favorites by far!  Click the link for more info on this as well – and put it on your calendar because this is an all day family event that you don’t want to miss!

Here it is, folks!  The Hingham Library show will be happening at 2:00pm.  Be sure to get there early!  The show is always packed – and always entertaining!  Also, I will be giving a special hint on my Facebook to a password for a special prize to be given out at the end of the show!  If you haven’t liked my FB page – go do it NOW!  I will give out the password early tomorrow morning!

Also, keep note that I will be doing the Plymouth Library on Friday! This is my hometown library so, of course, it is my favorite show of the summer! See everyone soon!

I will be starting my day off tomorrow at the Pine-Fest where I will have the chance to tell my tales in the State Forest!  I am thinking that Wolf and Moose will be the most at home there – so most likely that is who will be joining me.  Make sure you come – get out of the rain – and have a blast with me tomorrow at Pine-Fest!  My shows begins at 10:30am!

 

I realize that I have not updated the site in a while – so sorry – with Antone being born and March being extremely busy I hardly had time to do anything other than work and play with my son and daughter.  Just know that I have A LOT of upcoming shows and I am having a blast!

The pages I have shown here are from a school I visited in early March.  The children have an opportunity to eat lunch with the presenter – which that week they had 4 – they choose their favorite presenter and fill out an application to be chosen.  The organizers then pick about a dozen children to come and eat lunch with me.

 

I have all the applications – there were about 50 – and I read through them all.  I picked out some of my favorites here to present to you.  Some of them I chose because I was amazed at the penmanship of some of the children – others made me laugh, especially “Isabella” who informed us that she would be willing to give up her iPad for an entire year just to eat lunch with me.  Probably the most adorable thing I have ever read.

Take a look at the Upcoming Shows page as it has now been updated.  There are quite a few new shows added and Summer is coming fast – if you are looking to schedule something – please feel free to call me at (508) 641-5336.

 

Stay warm this week by coming and laughing your way back to warmth!  This week is chock full of times to see a Big Ryan show – and I think I am pretty much covering the map – so people from all over have the opportunity to share in some storytelling fun!  I will be starting the week in Plymouth doing a show in the John Carver Inn for their guests and finishing the week in the same fashion with another show there.  Ending the week on a perfect note I also have a show at the Holmes Library Saturday! Check out the schedule below for all the dates:
