Thanksgiving Point

 Trish and I are now in LEHI, Utah, for the thirty-fourth Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.  I perform here every year and we love this Festival.

The Festival is held in the stunning Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point located in LEHI, just about a half-hour south of Salt Lake City.


Before the Festival starts, we got a chance to visit the Gardens and check out all of the performance sites and tent stages…and…the astounding flowers!


Trish and I were here last for a workshop week at the beginning of May when 750,000 tulips were in full bloom.  Now it is dahlias and a host of mixed summer flowers filling this fifty-five acre wonderland.


The tents are spaced out among all of the beauty. Even before the stories are told, you are soothed by the magic of simply being here.  There is even a waterfall on one side of the Garden.


After a preview show called “Look Who’s Talking,” last night, today all eleven of us who are featured tellers get to work in earnest.  If you have never been here, it is a place to think about coming for sure.
