-Sponsored by the Mary Aaron Museum, there will be an upcoming children’s storytelling event at Ellis Island that will occur from 10 a.m. to noon (so don’t be late). Grab your fairy wings and magic wands. Come to the Enchanted Island. Follow the magic mushroom trail to the story huts where the Fairies, Storytellers and Wizards will be waiting for you. If you ask politely they might share a story or two. Stay on the trail until you have discovered all the story huts there be. At the end of trail you will spy the Magic Spell Shop. Enter only if you dare, for therein an old wizard guards the magic potions you will find there. Then onward to have your fortune told by the Gypsy Queen while you gaze into her crystal ball. Nibble on a cookie or two. Don’t forget to enjoy a cup of nature’s brew. But most of all leave the Enchanted Island having learned something new. They are especially pleased to have the Alliance for Hispanic Advancement, Plinky strumming her banjo and singing her story, and free books from fantastical community partners.
