Sue) ~ Gere Clau Ruth Nole Mike Judit Welcome to the 17" Annual Weber State University Storytelling Festival Beloved writer of children’s stories, Patricia Polacco, draws inspiration from her Babushka, her Russian grandmother, who entertained the children with folktales from the old country. When the children would beg to know if the stories were true, she would say, “Of course they are true, but they may not have happened.” Mankind has been drawn to the truth in stories for millennia. Stories not only entertain, they spread before us the scope of human nature where we may see the follies and foibles, the joys and triumphs of life in a way that allows us reflect on our own lives. Storytelling is an art form like no other. Story cannot be without both teller and listener. Story comes to life when the teller crafts it and lovingly presents it to listeners who then reframe it in their own minds bringing fresh meaning and understanding. Listeners at this festival will hear stories well crafted by four nationally recognized tellers who each brings unique focus to their art: David Novak from North Carolina, Kevin Cordi from Ohio, Megan Hicks from Pennsylvania, and Beth Horner from Missouri. They are joined by Treasured Tellers Bill Higley and Virginia Rasmussen, and 43 other tellers from our own neck of the woods. In addition, 71 youth tellers representing local public and private schools will grace festival stages. This is truly a major community cultural event with 58 separate story events at 21 venues serving preschoolers, school children K-12, university students, families, senior citizens and the community at large. Welcome to this “once upon a time” adventure. Ann L., Ellis, Chair WSU Storytelling Festival Storytelling Festival Hosts Sue and Ken Burton Geraldine and Evan Christensen Claudia and Glen Eliason Ruth and Dexter Farr Nola and Lynn Paulson Mike and Jan Slabaugh Judith Mitchell, Hosting Coordinator Seventeenth Annual Weber State University storytelling Festwal 2013 Welcome! “Storytelling is among the oldest forms of communication.

Ashton Storytelling Award F. Ann Millner E Ann Millner oo After 10 years of outstanding leadership, Dr. F. Ann Millner has stepped down as President of Weber State University. During her tenure, the University achieved numerous milestones, among which is the awarding of over 35,000 degrees. Another distinction happened in 2008 when the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classified WSU as a communityengaged institution, a prestigious designation. Connections between University and community are a hallmark of her administration. Weber State University now moves forward utilizing the themes of accessibility, learning and community. Among the community-based activities of the University is the WSU Storytelling Festival sponsored by Department of Teacher Education and Moyes College of Education. Each year, thousands of community members share in Festival presentations, including school children, whose literacy studies are enhanced by listening and learning to tell stories. Hundreds of teachers and community volunteers share ownership in the Festival. Dr. Millner has been constant in her encouragement and promotion of the Festival. She urged using venues in Davis County when the Davis Campus was opened and broadened the community base of the Festival. She worked with donors who make the Festival possible in the first place. She served as an MC at Festival events and in so doing has been one its biggest boosters. The WSU Storytelling Festival honors Dr. F. Ann Millner for her outstanding service to the University and for her unfailing friendship of the WSU Storytelling Festival by presenting her with the Karen J. Ashton Storytelling Award for 2013.
