Tall tales at Nature Nights

July 5, 2002

Summer nights mean campfires, s'mores and good old-fashion storytelling. Brush up on your tall tales this Monday, July 8, when storyteller Kevin Strauss entertains the public with his own tales of the northwoods. The event begins at 7 p.m. at the International Wolf Center and is free and open to the public.

For Strauss, storytelling is a way to share and explore the natural world. On Monday night, he will focus on the wolf. Hear about the "Mountain Wolfıs Gift" and how "Wolf is Outfoxed by Ram" in this fun-filled night. Strauss will highlight the legends and fables with animal pelts and bones. Bring the family and your imagination.

Strauss has been a professional storyteller for eleven years. A CD of his stories, entitled "The Mountain Wolf's Gift," is scheduled for release this August by Tales of Tails Productions.

This is the fourth presentation in the Nature Nights Speaker Series. The International Wolf Center, the North American Bear Center, Listening Point Foundation, and the Dorothy Molter Museum sponsor the series. Presentations begin at 7 p.m. every Monday night at the International Wolf Center Auditorium, just east of Ely, Minnesota on Hwy. 169. For more information, contact the Center at 218-365-4695, ext. 23.
