The wonderful Anna Kerz is coming to the Waterloo Region Museum this Saturday, Feb 23 at 2:00. Don’t miss her storytelling concert:

Anna Kerz with music by Susanne Farrow – With a Stone in my Pocket

How do you buy chicken soup in Toronto when even your chickens don’t speak English?

It takes a little ingenuity and a lot of courage as you will hear. Beginning in an Austrian D.P. camp in the early 50’s, and ending in a skinny, stuck-together rooming house in Toronto, Anna’s lively tales are filled with characters and experiences that will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. Accented by Susanne Farrow’s evocative music, these stories have a universal quality that will resonate with anyone who remembers their childhood.

Advance tickets $10 (plus HST). To purchase tickets call 519-748-1914.

On Friday, November 14 we welcome Susan Charters to The Button Factory.

We forgot to assign a photographer, but we saw a few cameras in the crowd and begged.

Marilyn Malton will be our featured teller when we gather on the 14th at the Button Factory. Marilyn has been coming to the Story Barn almost since it opened its doors. We’ll be looking forward to her story, and to the stories that the rest of you will bring.
