First of all, we folks in the Southern Order of Storytellers owe a debt of gratitude to Anthony Vinson, director of this year's Peach State Storytelling Festival. I think the overall quality of the stories was top notch. Sheila and I thoroughly enjoyed every session that we attended!
Well done, Anthony!
This festival is one of my favorites because it always includes an outstanding national teller, but also local and regional tellers and kids. It also includes at least a couple of workshops. And there are always shows/activities for all ages. This year Bil Lepp was the big attraction who kept us in stitches. There may be a couple of tellers who can match Bil in drawing power, but not many more than that! But the regional and local folks were also outstanding. Our current Big Fibbers champ is a case in point. This evening she contributed two stories to the Tall Tales session that were gems. Don't miss her story on opening night, March 17, here in Rome. She also plans to defend her title the next night in the 240th Annual Big Fibbers Contest!
