A Howard County Anansi Story

Come and join Patapsco Heritage Greenway in hearing from Sara Thiam as she leads us through an exploration of the power and legacy of West African folklore. We will listen to stories, old and new, featuring the wise and trusted trickster, Anansi the Spider. Participants will then illustrate our 8-legged hero for a heritage display.

While children of all ages are welcome, this event is geared towards children ages 5-9.
