47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable

This is Judith Helton portraying Laura Ingalls Wilder at the 47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable.

The bottom picture is a photograph of Charles and Caroline Ingalls or better known as "Pa" and "Ma".

As always Judith did a marvelous job telling Laura's stories.  The children were captivated with stories of bears that weren't really bears, of sleigh rides with pigs, and Indians and grasshoppers!

A huge thank you to the Friends of the Pomona Public Library for sponsoring this event.  They also provided the craft and refreshments.  Hooray for the Friends!

47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable Coming February 2, 2013

Good Tuesday young Pomonans!  Our 47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable will be February 2, 2013 from 1:00-3:00pm.

A HUGE thank you to the Friends of the Pomona Public Library for sponsoring this yearly event.  It doesn't seem possible we have been doing this for 47 years straight!

This year we are happy to have Judith Helton (pictured on the left).  As you can see she dresses up as Laura Ingalls Wilder and tells Laura's stories in the first person.  For example, "I am Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder and when I was a child we had a dog named Jack."  She tells Laura's stories with enthusiasm.  The Friends will also be doing a craft.  You will be making a bonnet to take home!  Also this year we will have a musical group from the Pomona School of Arts and Enterprises to entertain us.

SEE YOU HERE!!
