Very excited to begin this new year!  I began Big Ryan’s Tall Tales back in January of 2000.  I can officially say Big Ryan’s Tall Tales has been spreading joy and telling original tales for 20 years!  Its been an honor and a privilege to be able to visit thousands of schools and libraries and share my tales with children all over!

Here’s to another 20 years!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Keep an eye out for some new dates when I will be telling my tales!
