If you're headed to Jonesborough for the National
Storytelling Festival in October, you can kick off a great weekend with
NSN's all-star National Story Night concert on the eve of the Festival, Thursday, October 2, at 7:30 pm in the Library Tent behind the Jonesborough Visitors Center. http://www.storynet.org/Events/Storynight/2008%20national_story_night.html Here's the line-up: Diane Ferlatte, David Novak, Barbara Freeman, Gayle Ross, Bobby Norfolk, Faye Wooden (Jonesborough Storytelling Guild), and Rixon Lane (National Youth Storytelling Showcase Grand Torchbearer)! All these splendid tellers have donated their astonishing talents to benefit NSN's Grant Program. Please thank them! -- and come to National Story Night! Tickets ($15 adults; $10 students and seniors) can be ordered from the Jonesborough Visitors Center, 1-866-401-4223, or purchased in Jonesborough at the Visitors Center or at the tent. Please consider (even if you can't be at the concert in person) buying a ticket in honor of the memory of a departed teller. We'll put a sign on the seat honoring that person. Just order the ticket, and then send a message about your memorial gift to Karin Hensley (karin@storynet.org). Hope to see you in Jonesborough! |
