WHOPPERS!!!!
Outlandish stories!
BIGGER than life folk heroes!

In this interactive program the audience is invited to join Fran as she weaves these colorful, amusing tales from our country’s past. You can help her make up a story especially for your group.

Tall Tales and Riddles of the Erie Canal
Fran appears as a canal cook in this one. Help her "stretch the blanket" and pass the time with silliness as you travel down the Old Erie.

Interactive Tales
Tales from here, there, and back again. Please come and join in as Fran tells stories from around the world. She'll need help with her stories and to answer the riddles she loves to ask. It won't be as much fun if you don't come!

Trickster Tales
Animal tales from around the world and our own lake country. Coyote and Anansi are only two of these amazing creatures.

Slightly Scary Stories
No, you needn't cover your eyes. You'll have to keep them open so that you'll be able to interact with Fran. Have fun!

Winter Wonder Stories
Come and join Fran as she presents stories that tell us how the animals (who could talk) were able to learn so much during this wonderful season.

Tales from Western New York Cultures
Stories representing the many cultures who now live in our beautiful lake country.


Use Your Noodle!
Things are never quite what they seem. Lively stories and jokes that will bring laughter among the groans.
