West Virginia Storytelling Festival

Last week I was one of the featured tellers at the WV Storytelling Festival at Jackson's Mill. My partner for the event was Ilene Evans, who you see in the last photo here. It was shot in the LIvestock Barn. This less-than-desirable venue was one of the only buildings large enough to hold all of the children that came. We told to 1200 students over two days. The other building is much nicer, but I didn't get any photos there...so I had to borrow some from Granny Sue's blog. The other two tellers this year were Granny Sue Holstein and children's book author Marc Harshman. Granny, Ilene, and I have told together before. And Marc was one of the judges of the Liars' Contest waaaaaay back when I first started.
