Winter Tales by the Fire

Put on your PJs, grab your pillows, and join us by the Wilson Center fireplace! Beloved local storyteller Sheri Williams Pannell will capture the imagination as she brings fanciful tales to life in this one-hour program, ideal for children ages 2−6.

Featuring popular children’s stories, including Owl Moon by Jane Yolen, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, and Frozen Noses by Jan Carr, Sheri will be joined by percussionist Scott Wenzel who will create a unique soundscape to accompany the performance!

Enjoy warm, winter treats for the whole family after the performance!
