Timpanogos Storytelling Festival

If you live in Utah (or if you are coming to Utah this weekend for the Blog Party), be sure to check out the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If you don't know what storytelling is, well, it's basically a hybrid of standup comedy and a conversation with your mother-in-law. Well, perhaps not your mother-in-law, lest that image conjure up negative associations for you, but my mother-in-law, who always has entertaining stories to tell. Every year professional storytellers come from around the world and talented amateur storytellers come from the Wasatch Front to tell stories at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. If you've never experienced something like this before then you really need to, and if you have then I don't need to convince you.

For eight bucks you can attend one of the evening events--Look Who's Talking on Thursday, My Favorite Stories on Friday, Laughin' Night on Saturday, or, if you have small children, Bedtime Stories on Friday--or for twenty bucks you can attend a day of storytelling on either Friday or Saturday. Forty bucks will get you into both days and all three nights, and a hundred will get your whole family into everything.

Check out the link above for more details, then call the Orem Public Library to order tickets, or you can buy them onsite at Mt. Timpanogos Park. Tell them Master Fob sent you. It probably won't mean anything to them, and will more than likely get a confused stare, but I'll be amused when you tell me about it later.
