I saw quite a few familiar faces at the Sharon Library.  I didn’t mean to make the librarian nervous – I arrived about 7 minuites before the show was to start (Lots of unexpected traffic) but the show went off without a hitch!  I can’t wait to go back in November!  Thank you to Danielle who took these great photos.  You seem to be able to capture just the right moment when I’m making the funniest faces.

Then, Sunday, it was off to the Mom and Dad’s Guide Kid’s Expo in Canton.  I saw many friendly faces – Jessica, Mike the Music and Bubble Man, and even a few faces from the old WearGaurd childcare (man, I miss those guys!).  It was a great time all around and thank you to the Totplex in Canton for hosting this great event!

Don’t forget – if anyone is interested in purchasing a Big Ryan’s Tall Tales storytelling CD then please go to the Shopping page.  I made this tri-fold probably close to 8 years ago.  It even has pictures from when I still had hair!  Ahhh… memories 

I enjoyed telling stories this past Saturday to a fun group of children with the giggles.  I love to hear children laugh – and these kids were such great gigglers!  I almost couldn’t hold in the laughs myself!  They had a good time hearing Wolf and Moose and singing along with me to my friend alligator – and as you can see – all my other friends!

 

This event promises to be a whole lot of fun!  Click on the logo at the top to see all the information!  Hope to see a lot of you Big Ryan Groupies there!

October brings a lot of things including some spooky tales!  But if you don’t want your child to be fleeing in terror or not able to sleep or night due to nightmares then you need to show them how NOT to be scared.  This very funny book can give your children the idea that even a little old lady isn’t scared of things in the night.  When you read the book make sure that you really have fun playing with all the different sounds and watch as your child plays along with you!  Have a great and of course safe October!

I was visiting the Sharon Library this past Saturday and saw many of familiar faces!  It’s so nice to see many of the same people interested in hearing my tales!  This crowd was treated to one of the classics!  One of the stories that made me want to become a storyteller!  Pete Seeger’s Abiyoyo!  I will see everyone once again in October!

 

Yes, it’s not even October and I already have pumpkins.  Pumkins are one of my favorite things in this whole world and I usually end up with at least 15 before Halloween.  As you can see here I seek out every kind of pumpkin there is.  I have every color – and more!  Like this one… did you know there were light blue pumpkins?  I didn’t.

Of course my favorite is the Cindrella Pumpkins and I was sure lucky today getting one of the best Cinderella Pumpkins I have ever seen! 

 

Here is a few close up pics of all the pumpkins – I hope you have enjoyed this September – it went really fast!

I thought I wouild introduce everyone to my nephew – Nicholas – who happens to love his Uncle “Big” Ryan.  What a cute kid, huh?

I will be at Macy’s this Saturday for their Shop for a Cause event!  My show starts at 11:00am in the store!  Click on the image for more info – I hope to see everyone there!

 

I am so sorry!  I have not posted vary much at all in September!  While it is a slower month and most of my paperwork and scheduling for the year is done around this time that doesn’t mean I’m not not telling my stories!  This past weekend I spent telling my stories for the families of the ARC of Plymouth and while we didn’t have the best weather – it was still a great success – thanks to all who listened to the Scared Crow and said “Hello” to my furry little friends!
