Labor Day Weedend...

Friday was so much fun! I hadn't been to the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in years. I decided this was the year! There were so many things going this weekend between Utah Valley and Midway it was hard to choose what to do. But the festival won! So my dear friend "The Duchess of Bournemouth" and I set out about 9:30 a.m. went to a (red) parking lot, caught the shuttle that took us right to the main entrance.

What a treat it was to be in such a beautiful setting in the canyon, (guess who didn't have batteries charged for her camera)? Right, me. The landscape was just beautiful. Flowers everywhere.

Dotted around the canyon where gigantic white tents that would seat about two hundred people or so in each one and there where about six of those just for storytellers and their audiences going constantly. Each tent was full almost to capacity each hour.

It was pretty hard to pick which teller to listen to first...they are all so fantastic. One of our goals for the day was to listen to Donald Davis as much as we could and then catch others in between. We did just that! He is outstanding!! The others were fantastic as well.. You can find some of these wonderful tellers on Cd's at your local library...great idea for people that are in the car a lot or road trips with kids or grandchildren!

We had a lovely lunch from and assortment of vender's and topped it off with Maggie-Moos vanilla ice cream, yummmm, w/fresh peaches on top!! Then we just sat a while and visited with different people we knew from other walks of life. It is amazing how many people the festival brings out...families where there, school classes, etc. it was a great day!!

Next year I want to take more friends and family....

A great goal would be to go to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesbourgh, Tn!! Maybe next October...who wants to go???
