PENDLETON — The Pendleton Community Public Library will host a Harvest Moon Festival on the lawn by Brown’s Pool, 591 E. Water St., from 2 p.m. Sunday, until the fire dies down.
Festival activities include a children’s outdoor theater presented by Minnetrista, children’s crafts, Good’s ice cream, a magician, fall-themed treats and balloons animals. There will also be fall contests, including seed-spitting, pie-eating, and pumpkin-carving. Purchase a s’mores kit from the Friends of the Library and enjoy the melty treat while listening to fireside folktales.
Bob Sander, a nationally-known professional storyteller, will be sitting by the fire for an interactive storytime filled with tales of folklore. Sander’s show gathers folktales from around the world, often interwoven with music from a variety of musical instruments. About his performance, Sander says, “‘If Once Upon A Time’ stories are what most people think of when they think storytelling, that’s OK with me. I loved them as a child. I loved them all over again, later, when I rediscovered them as an adult beginning to explore this profession. The way folktales encapsulate wisdom, enlarge cross-cultural understanding, and of course entertain — has kept me occupied as a teller and listener for close to two decades now.”
The Harvest Moon Festival will also feature Rusty Ammerman’s Dimension of Illusion. Ammerman’s show is one part comedy, one part magic, and 42 parts audience participation. Ammerman has entertained thousands of audiences in 43 states and nine countries.
