At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, the ESC will offer special "Jack Tales" storytelling programs and an oppor- tunity to win a Halloween-themed gift basket. Children will receive free admis- sion throughout the Center's hours, and costumes are welcomed. Careful Covid-19 preventative protocols will be followed throughout the event to ensure the safety of all of those in attendance. "We are delighted to host storyteller Ron Gulledge, who will bring local and regional folklore to life," says Mary Beth Martin, ESC executive director. Parents and children will learn about how Jack Tales passed down through many generations of storytelling fami lies in North Carolina and played an important role in early Appalachian culture. "Jack is a character, usually portrayed as a clever boy, who appears in many tales whose origins are traced back to England. These stories were adapted and told throughout the mountains of North Carolina," says Martin. "Folklorist Richard Chase collected these stories and pub- lished them in his book, The Jack Tales, which helped further spread and popular- ize them. These are beloved stories that many children, including me, grew up hearing from their parents or grandpar- ents. "Jack Tales almost always follow the same pattern: Jack meets an obstacle or a challenge, and through his wits or luck, finds a way to succeed or get out of a sticky situation. These are wonderful, entertaining stories based on a trickster- type hero." The 11 a.m. Jack Tales program will fea- ture stories specifically for young children, and the 2 p.m. program will feature stories suitable for the entire family. Attendance is limited for these pro- grams to allow for social distancing, and registration is required. To register for this event, visit www.earlscruggscenter. org/event/skelefun-day/, or call the Earl Scruggs Center at 704-487-6233. Throughout the day, visitors may stop by the gift shop to play a guessing game and enter a contest to win a Halloween- themed gift basket. In addition, a limited number of treat bags will be available for children. "To prevent the spread of Covid-19 in our community, face coverings are required inside the Earl Scruggs Center and gift shop," says Martin. "In addition, guests must maintain six-foot social dis- tancing in the museum and related pro- grams, and we encourage them to take advantage of several hand sanitizing stations throughout the facility. Guests may notice increased cleaning and sani- tizing of all high-touch surfaces, and we ask for patience as timed entry may be enacted, as needed. "If you have a fever, are experiencing symptoms, or have been in close contact with a person with Covid-19, we ask that you visit us another day."
