ENTERTAINERS Rob Pudner and Dexter Newman will be adding something new and different in the run up to Okehampton Carnival.

Kick-start carnival week this Saturday (October 13) with a fun and crazy 60 minutes of great games, stories and songs. With support from the hilarious Hanky Mouse, Rob and Dexter promise to amuse and enthuse both young and young at heart as they help put a spring in your step to get everyone in the carnival mood.

The event will take place from 2pm to 3pm in the Charter Hall, and from 3.30pm to 4.30pm there will be an 'entertainingly different' traditional tales show with an interactive performance piece.

The mini musical with lyrics by Niki Davies, features the well known tale 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'The Three Little Pigs' and will enthrall and amuse people of all ages with its heady mix of storytelling, slapstick, song, dance and surprises.

The performers known across the county and beyond for their expressive arts workshops play all the parts with the help of their puppets, an array of hats and costumes, a wooden trunk, a couple of hat stands and plenty of audience participation.

All tickets are £3 and include a drink and biscuit.
