McIntyre’s Fine Books is a wonderful independent book store located in Fearrington Village half way between Chapel Hill and Pittsburg, North Carolina. Since 1991 my last storytelling performances of each year have been sponsored by McIntyre’s in the Big Barn at Fearrington Village. We call these performances “Stories for a Holiday Season,” and there are always some childhood Christmas stories in the mix.

The traditional admission cost for these performances is that people bring non-perishable food items to go to the CORA Food Pantry. People can also make CORA donations on the spot. In normal years these performance times have resulted in more than 3,000 pounds of donated food. This year, with attendance limited to 200 people due to COVID wisdom, there was a five dollar charge to supplement smaller food donations.

Last year there were no performances here due to COVID. This year everyone was very excited to be back together. There were vaccine and mask requirements and audience size limits, but, we all rejoiced that we could have even limited live stories again. It marks the arrival of Christmas for Trish and for me.
