Folk Songs & Puppetry with Red Yarn

Red Yarn (aka Andy Furgeson), a Texas-born Oregonian, weaves folksongs and puppetry into high-energy, interactive shows for families. Alongside his lovable “critter” puppets, Red Yarn encourages audiences to sing, dance, stomp, clap, and celebrate the multicultural, musical heritage of the USA. Come boogie to tunes like “Backyard Bop” with Red Yarn in our City Hall Lobby.

This program is part of our 2022 Summer Reading Challenge! The 2022 Summer Reading Challenge begins Friday, June 17 and runs until Saturday, August 20. Summer Reading is open to all ages: babies, kids, teens, and adults. Join us for live outdoor programming every week!

Join Food for Lane County at 11:30 a.m., immediately following this event on the Fountain Plaza for a free lunch for kids and teens ages 1 - 18. No strings attached! Available while the supply lasts.

*Summer rain means indoor fun for everyone. Join us in the City Hall Lobby.
