We have just finished the full week with the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. Doug and Jill came out for the festival this year. This is the year of their twenty-fifth anniversary. They spent their honeymoon in Moab, Utah, and are hanging around for a week after the festival to celebrate.
The festival happens in the beautiful fifty-five acre Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, just south of Salt Lake City. There are four performance tents as well as a large hillside Amphitheatre and another pavilion setting.
The tents are filled during the daytime and the Amphitheatre and pavilion are used in the evening. On Friday and Saturday nights at least thirty-five hundred people filled the hillside of the Amphitheatre.
On Sunday morning, after the festival is all over, the tellers are taken up to Salt Lake City to attend the Sunday broadcast, Music and the Spoken Word, by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra. What a magnificent ending for our time together. Afterwards we have brunch together before everyone returns home.
This is something you should plan to do someday…I mean both the festival and the choir!
