Summer Memories, 1

In everything we do this year, we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Bloomington Storytellers Guild.

Ginny described the beginning of the Guild in 1975, and shared the newspaper announcement of the first open meeting --which was published in both the morning and the evening paper.

The old woman in Dana's story first got what she wanted --

and then what she deserved!

Summer jobs? Clayton has had them!

Hard work pays off in Patty's hilarious version of Obedient Jack.

Dakota shared an original story that we could imagine as an animated cartoon.

People! You are in for a treat when Faridah tells a tale.

No end to Christina's tale of "Never Ending Jack"

Laura organized Summer Tales (Yay, Laura!) and told a tandem tale with Ginny of "No News"

And we all had a fun time!

Thanks to the library for sponsoring us, to CATS for recording the event, to all the tellers - and especially thanks to the folks in the audience who laughed and gasped and clapped at just the right time.  

We are so grateful to still be sharing stories with you after 50 years!

We had a wonderful evening telling our Summer Tales at the Monroe County Public Library.  The stage was set with sunshine and butterflies, vines and a ladybug.

Such a variety of stories! Tall tales, folk tales, fables, 

old tales, new tales,

Silly, 

Informative,

thoughtful,

fantastical

entertaining stories!

 And if you missed the performance, check out the video on https://catstv.net/channels.php?channel=library.  Summer Tales should appear on the schedule in the near future!

See you at the next storytelling event -  the annual Festival of Ghost Stories October 28th!
