We just finished the 31st year of the Midland, Texas, Storytelling Festival.
Rex Ellis and I were the starters of this Festival organized by Lucinda Windsor and the late Patty Smith after meeting both of us at Winter Tales in Oklahoma City all those years ago.
This year I joined with Motoko, Bil Lepp, Laura Pershin Raynor, Barbara-McBride Smith, Antonio Rocha, Charlotte Blake Alston, and Willy Claflin for the Festival.
We all did school and community programs on Friday and then started the Festival itself with a live broadcast on Basin PBS television that evening. The two hour show featured student tellers along with Motoko, Antonio, Barbara, and me and was emceed by Charlotte.
On Saturday we did three live shows that were also live-streamed for those who could not or chose not to leave their homes.
Next year the Festival will return for heat 32 on November 30 and December 1.
