Pamela Sunshine telling stories for Earth Day in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows

Come celebrate Earth Day in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows! I am honoured to be telling stories at the Storytelling Tent at this years Earth Day event in my old home town.  I will be telling my favourite tales of wonder and folk tales interspersed with a couple of songs from my Growing Up Green CD. Celebrate Earth Day is a free community festival to celebrate and acknowledge the earth and our environment. This is a family oriented festival that takes place at the Maple Ridge Memorial Peace Park. There will be plenty of performances, activities, exhibits and a silent auction. This year's theme is "The True Cost of Stuff". They will be exploring the hidden costs of different products, so come find out how much your stuff really costs! If you are interested in volunteering, registering as an exhibitor, or have any questions please contact the CEED Centre at info@ceedcentre.org or 604-463-2229

Pictures from the Storytelling Tent at Surrey Children's Festival

I had a great time at the Surrey Children's Festival telling stories in the Storytelling Tent.
It was a packed house for each show, and everyone listened so wonderfully. Thanks to all who came out

.

I told stories about Masha and the Bear, The Singing Turtle and a story from Tanzania called, Look Back and See, among others. Lots of chances for the audience to join in with the chanted parts etc, especially in The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
I got the children up front to help out with Ten Empty Pop Cans and everyone had lots of fun.

I would like to thank the Surrey Library for inviting me to perform and all the families that came out in the sun to take in this fabulous day.

Pamela Sunshine at the Surrey Children's Festival

I am telling stories at the Surrey Children's Festival June 30th at 11 and 12:00.
I am in the Storytelling Tent at Bear Creek Park on 88th in Surrey and this is one of the many free events at this wonderful Chilren's Festival.

Here is more information on this event

Experience the power of creativity. The performances will engage audiences through wonder and imagination. Envision yourself as a tightrope walker with Circus INcognitus, experience life with the Sky People in Story Before Time or assemble an incredible musical instrument from recycled materials with SAM2. No matter which performance you attend, you will see great possibilities in the world around you.

2009 marks the fifth anniversary of the Surrey Childrens Festival. Participants are encouraged to explore circus skills, clay arts, visual arts, dance and many other artistic practices in the free interactive on site workshops. Nurturing young imaginations and encouraging children to stretch their creative muscles empowers them to imagine the impossible as possible.
