Azalea Festival

 We have just finished the 27th Azalea Storytelling Festival in LaGrange, Georgia. This is a marvelous community wide event that I am at every year.  This year I was joined by Adam Booth, Dolores Hydock, and the Rev. Robert Jones.

At Azalea they bring two of us in early in the week to do community outreach. This year Robert and I arrived early. We performed for schools, churches, civic clubs, and other community organizations prior to the festival itself.  One of my outreach sessions was to tell at the St. Peter’s Catholic Church Friday Luncheon following Friday Mass.


By Friday we moved to the beautiful Callaway Auditorium on the LaGrange College campus.  Following a warm welcome by Dr. Susanna Baxter, President of the College, we had six performance sessions running from Friday evening through sacred stories on Sunday morning.

Here we see Dolores on the Callaway stage.


This is the second year to be back live following the COVID hiatus.  The audience was so happy to be here. It is growing back to pre-COVID levels. 


Next year we will be back with Josh Goforth and two other tellers the first weekend in March.
