Florida Folk Tales: An Interactive Storytelling Show

Tuesday, May 7 at 12:30 p.m.

New Tampa Regional Library, 10001 Cross Creek Blvd. in Tampa

FREE

The backwoods of old Florida will appear in children’s minds as Katie Adams tells captivating, humorous tales from Florida’s folklore. Props, costumes, audience participation, and singing add color to these tales about a raccoon that makes wishes come true, a young fool who makes the cattle rancher's daughter laugh, and a one-eyed fish that saves an old woman from robbers.

This program is part of the Viva Florida 500 celebration, a statewide initiative led by the Florida Department of State to highlight the 500 years of historic people, places and events in Florida since the arrival of Juan Ponce de León in 1513.

For children ages 5 to 12 years.

Funded by the Friends of the New Tampa Regional Library. For more information about this and other FREE programs @ your library®, call 813-273-3652 or visit www.hcplc.org.
