As Weber State University celebrates its 125th anniversary, | am delighted that the Moyes College of Education and the Department of Teacher Education are keeping this tradition alive by presenting the 18th Annual Storytelling Festival. We extend a warm welcome to all storytellers and their listeners. Thank you for sharing your art with Charles A. Wight, President the campus and our community. Weber State University WEBER Charles A.

One hundred twenty-five years later, that little school has become today's Weber State University, propelled into the future by the dreams of thousands of faculty and students. The Weber State University Storytelling Festival is a part of that dream. In 1996, circus tents dotted the playing field on the northwest corner of the campus as the First WSU Storytelling Festival was launched. The festival continues today, sponsored by Teacher Education and guided by teams of dedicated university and community volunteers. Generous and visionary sponsors make the award-winning Festival possible. It has become the premier storytelling festival in the country for nurturing youth storytellers. This 18th Annual WSU Storytelling Festival marks another benchmark in its development. Last spring, the Moyes College of Education established the Boyd K. and Donna S. Packer Center for Family and Community Education. The Packer Center brings into one, a number of interdepartmental programs devoted to enriching the community through outreach programs. The administrative activities of the Festival are now housed within the Packer Center. The creative program remains in the Department of Teacher Education. This new partnership promises many opportunities for bringing Festival dreams into the future. The originators of the Festival dreamed of a major community activity that would enhance the diverse culture and creativity of the community by promoting storytelling. They dreamed of children and adults caught up together in the magic of well-told tales, taking home memories to share again and again. This Festival will have 58 separate performances at 21 venues in Davis and Weber Counties. Forty-one Utah storytellers, and seventy-one youth storytellers will join five award-winning national storytellers. National storytellers wil spread a feast of culture and diversity. Len Cabral brings exuberant telling of African, Cape Verdean, and Caribbean folktales. Olga Loya is on an impassioned quest to keep alive Latino culture, richly robed in folktales. Husband and wife storytelling team, Robert Kikuchi-Yngojo and Nancy Wang, also known as Eth-Noh-Tec, impart a rich heritage of Asian stories told in a closely choreographed art form. Festival favorite, Ed Stivender, performed at the First WSU Storytelling Festival. He tells his tales with wry humor and an occasional lick or two on the banjo. Welcome to tellers and listeners alike. Story cannot be without both. Story comes to life when the teller crafts it and lovingly presents it to listeners who then reframe it in their own minds and experience, bringing fresh meaning and understanding. May we understand each other more fully as we share these days together. Ann L. Ellis, Chair WSU Storytelling Festival 0 WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY Worthy of Your Dreams 2014 Karen J. Ashton Storytelling Award Norman L. Skanchy Norman L. Skanchy was born and raised in Logan, Utah. After serving with the U.S. Marine Corps, he attended and graduated from Utah State University. He was awarded a masters degree from Ohio State University where he was selected as one of twenty artists, nationwide, to participate in an intensive Master of Arts program. Norman L. Skanchy ; Norm was an art teacher in the Ogden School District and was later appointed the district art supervisor. One of his many accomplishments was the inception of the Artists in Residence program. This program brought many well known local and national artists to schools where, for nine weeks, the master artists taught students their individual specialties. This program resulted in a mini traveling museum that displayed the art of prominent artists for students to enjoy and learn. Norm also served as an elementary principal and later he became the director of elementary education. Among other awards, he was presented the first annual Governor's Award for the most outstanding art educator in the State. Norm married the late Elma Avondet and they had four children (Patti, Randal, Toni, and Kelly). Norm is a talented sculptor, calligrapher, poet, jewelry craftsman, and stained glass artist. He has the rare quality of true creative genius that over the years has resulted in numerous programs and projects which raise the artistic excellence, quality, sophistication and forward-thrust of the arts in Utah. Norman L. Skanchy was on the WSU Storytelling steering committee that originated in 1995. Norm illustrated a magnificent watercolor named “Tales To Remember”. The painting is a true expression of Norman Skanchy (a.k.a. Skanke), a multitalented artist. Previous Karen J.
