We are at the 34th Timpanogos Storytelling Festival with some wonderful other performers. Some of them (but not all) are Bil Lepp, Carmen Deedy, Antonio Rocha, Brigid and Johnny Reedy, and Mara Menzies.
People start arriving early to see the flowers at the Ashton Gardens location.
This Festival has always had a family audience flavor with every age in attendance. There are lots of activities for children in addition to storytelling. We meet parents now with their children who themselves grew up being brought in their own childhood.
In addition to the tents, there is a huge waterfall Amphitheatre that holds thousands of people. This is one setting for evening performances. Here are people gathering, some areas for blankets only and others for chairs.
It is nice to be first in the Amphitheatre, since before dark falls you can see all of the audience!
I got to finish yesterday afternoon with Brigid and Johnny Reedy. Here they are playing the same guitar together!
What fun!
