Timpanogos Story Telling Festival




Attending for the first time, this twenty-two year event of great and new story tellers affects the hearts, minds and futures of thousands that attend. Extra-ordinary people, puppeteers, jugglers, musicians and beautiful canyon vistas came together for an amazing event.

My thanks goes out to the amazing story tellers that invited us into their lives, laughs and loves. We were able to revisit our own pasts. My favorites were Kevin Kling and Donald Davis, gentlemen with one of a kind or mundane experiences made amazingly funny. Thank's to my husband for wanting to go and the woman that shared her 'Who's Who' of the festival while waiting at the restrooms when we arrived. The people behind the scenes that made it all run so smoothly, caring the load so we don't have to, deserve an award.

Spinning yarns isn't as easy as it appears. This talent is crafted through years of trial and error, testing and delivery. Everyone has a story to tell, the secret is in the delivery. May we all continue to share those special experiences in our own lives with others. This is part of what and who we are.
