Fall Special Events

Book Launch Party for

Supersister
by Cape Elizabeth author
Beth Cadena

Saturday, October 24
11:30 a.m.

 

Brave enough to walk to the bus stop alone.

Strong enough to lift--and pour--her own bowl of cereal.

Able to read a story aloud all by herself. Who could this masked girl be?
It's Supersister!

Come to a special story time to help us celebrate the publication of Supersister (Clarion, 2009,) a new picture book by Cape Elizabeth resident Beth Cadena, illustrated by Frank Dormer! Beth will read and sign copies of her book. Kids will make their own "Super" book jacket, take home a "Super" mask, and more! For preschoolers and up, and their families. Free!

Two Old Friends
Mac McHale & Emery Hutchins

Tuesday, November 10
7:00 p.m.

Mac McHale and Emery Hutchins will delight audiences young and old with a combination of Irish Music and American country music.

With banjo, guitar, mandolin, concertina, bodran, octave mandolin, and heart-warming vocal harmonies, Two Old Friends tell a story in music of how immigrants came to this country from Ireland, Scotland and Great Britain, bringing their melodies and instruments; they show how the old time country ballads of the Appalachians are rooted in these tunes.

A Two Old Friends performance will give you plaintive ballads and foot stomping tunes, soaring mandolin solos, gospel sing-alongs, traditional Irish tunes and storytelling. There is truly something for everyone. Come join the lads for hot mulled cider, cookies, and a terrific evening of song! Free!
