As the chair, she introduced teacher recognition awards and the position of storytelling fellow. She also integrated an art exhibit, Eyes Toward the Past, into the festival and utilized the storytellers as readers of the historical blurbs of the events the paintings represented. Over the years, she has served, rubbed shoulders with, dined with, and developed friendships with many tellers, and has found great delight in bringing students and children to listen to their tales. She has worked closely with the various sponsors and organizers of the festival and has coordinated numerous activities herself during the festival. She has also assisted in storytelling performances by acting as an emcee. She loves the stories, she loves the tellers, and she loves the festival. Her favorite thing about the festival is that it boasts the greatest number of youth storytellers in the nation.

DeeDee continues to advocate for and support the festival in her current role as the Teacher Education Department Chair. THE KAREN J ASHTON AWARD In 1990, the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival began its run in Karen J. Ashton’s backyard, moving to larger venues and becoming a standard of storytelling in the country. The Weber State University Storytelling Festival began just six years later with Karen’s enthusiastic encouragement. This award pays homage to her vision of what the renewal of the ancient art of storytelling can do for a contemporary community.
