Gleaning Facebook: Big Fibbers Day Two

 Day Two is here!

The 239th Annual Big Fibbers Contest! Fourteen outstanding storytellers will vie for the 2015 title. And folks don't miss an opportunity to hear Bil Lepp. He will emcee and also tell a tale or two as the judges deliberate. I got to hear him WOW six audiences yesterday. He and I were both tired and sleep-starved but he (unlike me) stayed fresh and riveting for each and every audience.
Storytelling is for everyone, from one to eleventy-one! Y'all come!
From Sam Burnham:
Terrell Shaw has worked hard to make Big Fibbers happen. And it is going great!


------
Day three is almost here! I have had a wonderful time the last two days. Now for the grand finale.
Bright and early in the morning it's off to EH Young Theater again to take the Forging Fibs with Bil Lepp workshop! I will spend three hours with about twenty other folks learning Bil's methods of creating great stories.
Then at 2:30 we will be back at the same theater to hear 14 young people telling their stories. Our judges will choose a first, second and third and we have our first Debby Brown YoungTales champion!
And don't miss the Big Fibbers Finale! This will be Bil Lepp's biggest performance of the Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival -- and as a bonus the YoungTales winner and Tracy Walker, 2015 Big Fibber, will each tell a short tale.
