Everybody knows Old Dry Frye! When the preacher man comes around, the parishioners in town know to hide their plates, hide their pies, but especially hide their fried chicken! But what happens when the preacher man bites off more than he can chew? An uproarious journey filled with larger-than-life characters and non-stop hilarity, that’s what! You’ll laugh ‘til the cows come home in this slapstick twist on the traditional Appalachian folktale.

When Wilbur and Fern learn of his eventual fate, it’s up to the wise and kind-hearted spider Charlotte to hatch a plan to save this “radiant” pig. Bring your best friend and relive the warmth, charm, and magic of E.B. White’s beloved classic.
