I apologize for not updating my site last week. It was a doozy of a week! Now, I do have a few moments to let everyone know what’s happening this week. Not only do I get to visit schools I usually see annually but also a new place called “An Unlikely Story” which is a bookstore in Plainville – come and check it out! Travelling all over MA in the summer can have it’s perks too. Last week on my way to Belchertown I stopped by Purgatory Chasm. I will post pictures later. If you want to see some now you can go to Facebook and “Like” the Big Ryan’s Tall Tales page to see more updates.

I am also running a special this year – if you have booked for the summer just call and mention this post – you will get a “back to school” Fall show for just $100. The offer is good for shows from Sept 1st – Oct 8th. Call TODAY! (508) 641-5336.

My little girl turns 7 this week. As an added bonus she’s lost her first top tooth – one of the front ones – on her birthday! Someone told her that the toothfairy leaves double her age for a tooth lost on her birthday. That person would be my mother – her Nana. Thanks for that, Nana! My shows are getting revved up this week with double shows on Thursday and Friday! This is nothing though as next week the schedule continues to get ramped up! Make sure to take time out of sun bathing and splashing in the pool to come see a show – with temperatures reaching upwards of 90 degrees it’s best to take a break and cool off with some tall tales!

There are more shows added to the calendar – so take a look and mark your calendars – hopefully I am coming to see your town soon!

Once I arrived and saw there was no tent on the front lawn for the children to sit in the shade I talked with the event runner. She agreed with me that it would just be too unhealthy and dangerous for the show to continue as is.  Since there was no other place for the performance to be held we had to make the tough decision to just cancel all together.

A last minute addition to the July roster – I will be at the Bridgewater 4th of July festival right after the parade.  It’s a wonderful event and I will be there at 2:00 ready to perform – so make sure to come and enjoy yourself!

Just as I promised here are a few photos from my family’s Disney trip!  It was a blast!  On the first day we all had matching shirts.

Antone and I are on the Dumbo ride which he loved!

Back from Disney and the trip was fantastic! I was in awe with the sheer amount of effort that Disney puts forth in giving their guests an experience they will never forget! The best part, of course, was watching my son and daughter enjoy their first trip to the Magic Kingdom. I will try to get some pictures up in the next few days.

I know there is only a few shows this week but that is because I am heading to Disney! This will be the first trip for Alexandra and Antone and my wife and I have not been to Disney together before so we’re all very excited! I am going to be gone from Wednesday until… well, early next week. So if you’re looking to get in contact with me you will have to wait until I get back. I will try to keep everyone updated with pics from my trip! Keep an eye out here!

Come to beautiful Eastham this Sunday for a fun-filled day starting with little old me!  The Hands on the Arts Festival is happening this Saturday and Sunday and you, well, EVERYONE should go!  It will be awesome and fun and all within celebrating the arts!  Come and have a blast!

 

I was just told, by a sweet little girl, that I am the funniest person she’s ever met.  I will take it as a compliment and not think about the fact she’s probably only met a dozen people in her lifetime! I will say though – there are times I can make my strongest critics laugh – even my wife chuckled at this cartoon!

This is a bit of a crazy week and I am looking forward to all the traveling! Some of the schools and libraries are annual visits and a couple are new places. I am very excited for the warmer weather but even more excited to visit all the programs that are wrapping up this school year. I still get flashbacks to my last days of school and how excited we all were about the few free months ahead. Of course you can tell the school year is ending just by the energy level of all the children in the crowds. They can hardly contain themselves and the excitement is all that much more enjoyable to feed off of to present a fun filled show!
