Enjoy winter stories with storyteller and teacher, Matthew Friday!
This event is suggested for elementary school aged children, but open to all. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver.
The nights are getting longer and the days colder, so it is time to come together and listen to some heart-warming stories! Storyteller and local teacher Matthew Friday will tell some traditional winter folk tales from around the world. In this session, the children in the audience will have opportunities to participate as little or as much as they'd like, including being actors in the story! Anyone who loves stories is welcome! You are never too old for a good tale. Hot chocolate and snacks provided.
