I was asked to perform at a birthday party this past month – and even though I very rarely do parties – I was happy to do so for a big fan.  The mother said that her children were avid listeners to my CDs and even asked if was okay to make requests.  I gladly did and showed up that day ready to tell my tales.  I was greeted at the door by a very ecstatic young gentleman who was super excited to hear stories at his party – but also I was told that the cake that the mother prepared was inspired by one of my favorite and oldest Moose and Wolf tales “Treat for Bear”  The image above is the beautiful cake featuring Moose and Wolf who have gone with Mr. Bear to eat the strawberries and blueberries that he had picked.  Thanks so much for sending me pics so that I may share this amazing edible wonder with everyone!

Here is a sneak preview of which book I will be featuring during the Dad’s Group tomorrow.  If you have registered with Playmouth Family Network – then great!  I will see you tomorrow at 10:00!  If not – you can always register for January’s event!  See you all tomorrow!

A somewhat bitter-sweet week for me – while I have some fantastic shows coming up for this weekend – I had my final week with the Mashpee “Building Stories” group.  The presented me with a card and sang “We are Family” while clapping and saying “thank you” for presenting these past 4 weeks.  It was such a blast!  But, like I said, looking forward to the reast of the week – I have quite a weekend for you guys!

First up, Thursday – I will be at the Barnes & Noble in Braintree at 6:30pm – this is a fundraiser for the Bridgewater Library, a great cause, so come on by and check it out!

Saturday – I will start the morning off at the Plymouth Public Library at 10:00am where Plymouth Family Network is sponsoring a Dad’s Group (for any Dad and son/daughter).  Unfortunately, that required you to sign up at the library and is now full…

BUT DO NOT FEAR!  I am also going to be crossing over to Duxbury right after to the Chandler Elementary School where they are holding an Early Childhood Fair!  I will be there at 11:30 – so if you didn’t sign up for the Dad’s Group – come on by the Chandler School for an excellent time!

This is one of my favorite holidays – and I appreciate it even more now that I have a little girl to take trick-or treating!  I will post a pic or two tomorrow of her Tinkerbell costume!

Yes, I will be at the Falmouth Library in the morning and I am looking forward to breaking out my Fall stories!  Come on by to get in the mood for that wonderful fall feeling!  Come and have a blast!

I don’t think I have ever done a Birthday Party for a little one with the same name as one of my characters – well, tomorrow I will – as I am doing a party for a little girl named Amy! And even better – she wants a story to hear an Amy story!

I will be in Truro tonight for a fantastic evening show!  Come on over and have a blast with me!

I was informed that The Book Shack in the Independence Mall in Kingston has sold all out of my CDs – so I sent over some more!  So, if you’re looking for a great storytelling disc please head over to the Book Shack and purchase one of Big Ryan’s Tall Tales CDs today!

The summer is almost full – I do have dates left (as well as being able to fit shows into the evenings as well) – but if you’d like to book a Big Ryan show CALL TODAY! (508) 641 5336

Plymouth Family Network is hosting a show from me – Big Ryan – at the Plymouth Public Library at 5:30pm!  Come and have a few laughs!
