Florida Folk Tales: An Interactive Storytelling Show at the Center Place


Monday, June 10 at 3 p.m.

Center Place, 619 Vonderburg Drive in Brandon

FREE

The backwoods of old Florida meander through the mind's eye as Katie Adams tells stories from Florida’s cracker heritage. A raccoon that makes wishes come true, a young fool who makes the cattle rancher's daughter laugh, a one-eyed fish that saves an old woman from robbers—these characters and more inhabit the captivating, humorous tales from Florida's folklore. Audience participation, costumes, props, and singing add color to these “gator tales.” 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. Groups wishing to participate must register in advance. Limit of 200 participants.
