The Big Read 2019 Finale

The Big Read Finale has arrived! Prepare yourself for a wild wizard’s feast potluck and family-friendly world building extravaganza with activities for all ages to enjoy.  Help Fishtrap cast a spell on the Cloverleaf Hall, transforming it into a world of imagination and discovery. Feast from a nest of dragon’s eggs (aka: baked potatoes), bring a topping to share or, create a fantasy themed dish of your own. Before she ever wrote the book, Ursula K. Le Guin created the world of Earthsea in her mind and painted a map where the story would unfold. Come to the Big Read Finale and create a world from your imagination, too. Pick your superpower, find your own disguise, build an island world in the sea, make a magic wand, and dare to cross the hero’s bridge. Plus, see a short film by Lorri Fischer’s Enterprise School students on the history of the OK Theatre. Don’t miss the journey. The Big Read Finale is on March 19 at the Cloverleaf Hall in Enterprise. Admission is free.

The Big Read broadens our understanding of the world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
