IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, OUR 2022 FESTIVAL WAS HELD ONLINE APRIL 1-2.
We featured Sheila Arnold, Bil Lepp, Sam Payne, Gayle Ross, Kim Weitkamp, and many other fantastic tellers.
The festival offered a mix of pre-recorded stories and live (Zoom) workshops and storytelling performances. Everything was available for 30 days, so viewers could enjoy the festival online throughout the month of April.
