YoungTales Show

What a great time I had at the final YoungTales Summer Show of 2019! We had FOUR kids show up ready to tell stories. I had invited our 2018 YoungTales champ, Sara Grace Abernathy to come share a story, and she had a brand new one from her trip to the beach. Then Sophie, who was only a second-timer at YoungTales, made her storytelling debut. She and her audience loved it! Andrew Neal who had been a part of the YoungTales team at East Central wowed us with his spooky ghost tale from a trip to Chickamauga. And Polly Abernathy, not to be out done by her older sister, told a story of her own. We had a good time singing the story song, “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”. Then I told an old standby folk-tale “The King’s Cat”. We talked about the “bones” of that story so the kids could go home and re-tell it. And finally Sara Grace closed things out with a reprise of her hilarious personal story I call “Twunk!”
Folks this was a wonderful experience for these talented young tellers and for their listeners! Y’all give me some ideas for finding a larger audience for these kids next summer.
