This week Trish and I are in Ojai, California, for the 20th Ojai Storytelling Festival. After having to cancel the festival last year, this year the lineup is quite stellar. Here with me are Bil Lepp, Bill Harley, Kim Weitcamp, Rev. Robert Jones, Regi Carpenter, and Diane Macklin. We are all having a wonderful time.
In normal years Thursday is a day when local school children come to the festival for a field trip. Some of the schools are close enough for everyone to walk to the festival. Because of COVID, this year the tellers split up and went out to the schools and told to the children there.

I got to go with Regi Carpenter to Meiners Oaks Elementary School where we had two performances, one for the younger children and one for the older children. Brian Bemel, the festival founder and director, was our host for these school shows. We and the children had a wonderful time, but, everyone hopes that next year they will be back on the festival grounds.
