During those long nights when the earth, plants, animals, and people were quietly awaiting the sun’sreturn, storytelling was a significant part of the village life. Each generation preserved the oral traditions which were passed on, virtually unchanged, for uncounted years. And, so it is with all cultures, whose rich history continues to be preserved through oral expression. The sharing of oral expression is the major reason this Festival is presented. We're proud to produce and activity where our community children, youth, and adults may join together to share meaningful histories, traditions, talents, and ethnic cultures. Because stories are timeless and can be found in every subculture in the world, we are delighted that this year’s Festival will intertwine multi-language and signing with most Storytelling sessions. The four featured storytellers include, Diane Ferlatte from California, Bill Harley, who lives in Maine, Kevin Locke, a Dakota resident, and Diane Wolkstein who hails for New York City. These four nationally acclaimed storytellers will be joined by thirty regional tellers and 80 student Storytellers. Song, dance, poetry, and instrumentation will accompany many of the stories. each storyteller as they weave their fascinating tales. You will be intrigued with the unique presentation of May you be entertained, enlightened, and energized as you Join with your family, friends and neighbors to enjoy well told stories.
