Ft Worth Library News

Hey there, everyone! What fun we had telling stories at 7 libraries in Fort Worth in April.

Everyone was friendly, and the libraries were beautiful!

 

If you check in with Spike’s Blog, you may be confused. He didn’t go VIRUS. I attempted to explain to him, “going viral”. There were lots of Spike cut-out puppets at the 5th Annual Puppetry Festival at the Central Library in Fort Worth.

Thanks to Ms. Betsy Mosier and the Tejas Tellers in the Schools program sponsored by Tejas Storytelling Association. Special thanks to Ms. Anna M. Modrow! And thanks to all the kind folks at McMath Middle School!

 

On May 4th I traveled to Denton to McMath to tell folk tales and relate snippets of Texas history to the 7th graders. I even told a true Ghost Story. And I certainly appreciated all the good listeners.

News for March

News here:

The 29th Annual Texas Storytelling Festival (March 6-9, 2014) began tonight in Denton, Texas, with the opening of the usual Thursday night ghost story concert. Entitled this year as “Goosebumps and Graveyards”, I know I’m missing a good evening of stories. Tim Couch, one of our own Dallas tellers is featured and his scary tales can creep me out! But I’ve been getting house and home ready today so I can enjoy the workshops and concerts Friday through Sunday.

Tejas Storytelling Association volunteers and those in charge of the Festival have been busy for weeks and days in the planning. I spent some seven hours myself on Wednesday helping prepare the registration envelopes. This Festival is one of the best anywhere aroung. Every year as I’m listening and learning and the Festival plays out, I even think about writing notes to all the board members and key producers!

If you are in the area or can get to Denton this weekend, make the effort. You’ll hear some great tellers and find yourself laughing and crying with a whole big group of other folks.

Here’s where you can find more information about the Festival:
