I am a bit late putting up some pics from the Kingston Fair – sorry about that!  It was a beautiful day on April 2nd – which, unfortunately, kept away the large crowds – but the people who did make it out were treated to Edgar and Uncle Charlie and Alligator – not to mention all the wonderful crafts and information brought by the organizations who came to make the morning quite a special event!

For some more pics of the event take a look at the Big Ryan Facebook Page.  While you’re there make sure to “like” the page!

While participating at the Scituate Storyfest in September I heard one of the High School student volunteers read this to the group of kids – and he was fantastic!  He was hilarious!  This book is hilarious!  He read it like an announcer at a wrestling match and it was just perfect!  Try it out yourself!

Make sure you stop by the Kingston Elementary School for the wonderful Early Childhood Fair Saturday!  Should be a blast!  I will be starting my show at 11:15am – but get there earlier to have a ton of fun!

 

I knew I was in for trouble when I asked the question – but this is what happened today…

Today, I was in a class where one of the little girls asked how old I was when I started Big Ryan’s Tall Tales.  I said “Well, let me ask you this: How old do you think I am now?”

First answer: 63 (Ouch!)

Next answer: 50 (Wow…)

Next answer: 29 (My new best friend)

Another set of Early Childhood Fair goodness this past weekend!  Scituate Library was a fantastic groups of children AND parents who had a blast!  I usually have a great time telling stories to families – but I have even more of a blast when I see the parents getting into the show as much as thier children do!  Click on the pic above for exclusive photos on my FB page – while there make sure you “Like” the page!

 

There is a right of passage for every child – and it is their first Oreo Cookie!  Lex had her first one last week, even though she didn’t finish the whole thing, I am pretty sure she loved it as I offered another the other night and she snatched it out of my hand immediately!

 

I spent this past Thursday driving to the beautiful state of New Hampshire after doing a show at the wonderful Acton Discovery Museum.  I was pleasantly surprised with the fantastic crowd that showed up to Acton that morning.  We enjoyed singing and dancing around to “Father Leprechaun” in honor of St. Patrick’s day

Then, after the show, I headed up to NH and spent the night with my Aunt – thanks for the warm bed! – and in the morning I had a blast telling the students of Greenfield Elementary School my St. Patrick’s Day story and introduced them to Edgar and Uncle Charlie.  On the way home I was able to snap a few picks of some interesting sites – I posted them on the BRTT Facebook page – which you can view by clicking here.

I will be entertaining at the Paul Pratt and Scituate Libraries tomorrow – make sure you come and check it out!  Also – the South Shore Community Action Council will be providing some excellent activities for the little ones to do!  Come and have a blast!  Times are as follows:

• Paul Pratt Library: 10:00AM
• Scituate Library: 11:30AM

I can’t stay after the shows because I have to head out to Reading MA for an afternoon show – but I look forward to seeing everyone there!

 

I loved the show this past Saturday – the John Curtis Free Library is such a beautiful library!  And I was thrilled with the many, many families that joined us on that sunny day!  I hope everyone had as much of a blast as I did!

Lex did come with me but did not make it until the show… nap time loomed and she was passed out before the first song was sung.  Thanks to everyone who asked about her!  Check my facebook page for more pics!  “Like” the page while you are there!
