StoryTelling Festival

I took along a couple of friends from the PTO, and went to the StoryTelling Festival in Orem the end of August. It wasn't quite what I expected it to be, but it was still lots of fun. Carmen Deedy and Bill Harley were definitely my favorites. If you ever get a chance to hear either of them, then don't miss it!
In between "story sessions," there were various other entertainments going on, such as live music and puppet shows. One puppet show seemed to be a collection of every puppet they had in their collection and every fairy tale, bedtime story, or nursery rhyme they'd ever heard, put together in one very long, very twisted story obviously made up by socially-challenged college students sometime between one and four a.m. There were a bunch of kids watching, and they all just sat there with their mouths open, wondering what in the world was going on. Crazy.
But other than that, it was lots of fun to go, hang out with friends, talk, and occasionally laugh so hard the tears rolled down my cheeks.
