David Ward will share his knowledge of logging legend Paul Bunyan on October 21.
The Grand Marais Public Library will present Paul Bunyan: Loggin’ Legends and Lore, with David Ward from Homeward Bound Theater Company at 4 p.m. Oct. 21.
Fast, fun and fact-filled, the program features exciting and outrageous tales from the Paul Bunyan legend. Actor David Ward re-creates characters from Paul’s era such as Ole the Big Swede and Hot Biscuit Slim the camp cook. Kids will love seeing giant re-creations of some authentic Paul artifacts such as Paul’s baby bottle, toothpick and a giant mosquito from Paul’s famous tale of The Giant Mosquitobees! If they’re not careful, kids may also learn about the logging/lumber industry that helped build the communities where they now live.
