What a STORY!

Timpanogos Storytelling Festival
This weekend was my first experience at attending the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. I usually go to Swiss Days on this weekend. As i drive by the festival on my way to midway, i think, “who would ever choose to listen to a bunch of random people telling stories, when there is so much cool shopping at swiss days? can’t they just read their OWN stories?”
“My sincerest apologies” to any and all storytellers that ever read my blog! This was soooo much fun! as i sat and listened to story after story, i realized how much more i “took home with me” than if i’d spent an entire day shopping at swiss days.
these storytellers actually do this for a living! they go around to the festivals and share stories of their lives. some touching, some funny, but all enjoyable! even if you can’t attend the entire festival i suggest you pay the $8.00 and go to the Scera shell on saturday night for the “laughter story time”. this is a sampling of each storyteller and is hilarious.
so next year when you start to shop, just as the sun comes out
swiss days will be fun, but consider changing up your route
the white tents full of storytellers guarantee some fun
i promise if you try it out, you’ll stay until it’s done.
The End of my little TALE! (i think some of the rhyming, rubbed off on me)
