TALES FROM THE FLYWAY 
at the Newport Folk Festival
 Jackie Kerin and Sarah Depasquale will be at the Festival with their Tales from the Flyway.
Together they will take you on a journey following the path of the migratory shore birds, from Hobsons Bay along the East Asian Australasian Flyway to Siberia and back. They pose the question: If we were to fly with the birds and visit some of the wetlands along the way, what stories might we hear?

WHEN: Saturday July 2
WHERE: The Substation
TIME: 2.00 pm
