Storytellers Draw Families to Kennedy Plaza
Saturday, August 07, 2010
It's an urban dream come true.
Kids and parents on brightly colored blankets, under the leafy trees of Kennedy Plaza in Providence. And it's the realized urban dream of KidoInfo founder (and GoLocalProv contributor) Anisa Raoof, whose KidoInfo Providence Story Times have become a summer hit with families near and far. Every Tuesday at 10am through the end of August, listeners (of all ages) can enjoy the stories like the ones you see being told here, by well-known local storyteller Mark Binder.

August 10: BIG NAZO interactive storytelling.
