Paul Bunyan: Loggin’, Legends & Lore
The audience will be entertained and educated as to life in a northern logging camp with stories about the hardships and impact the lumber industry had on small communities and the legends that grew up around the daily activities of these men. The audience will enjoy a professional actor and the stories he tells and the props he uses to convey an important time in our history.
The presentation was an excellent balance of storytelling, entertaining anecdotes and the rich history of folklore. The audiences enjoyed the program and were encouraged to learn more about the history of the lumber industry in the U.S. as well as the myths and tall tales of America. The feedback from those attending was overwhelmingly positive and many sought out materials available in the libraries to learn more after the program.
