I have been coming to Morehead, Kentucky, to tell stories for 27 years, since before this festival was started. It is still a favorite place to tell stories. The audience is quick and supportive, and, the setting is spectacular.
The festival is held on the shores of Cave Run Lake at the Twin Knobs Recreation Area just south of Morehead. This is a National Forest Service site where there is also a lovely campground.
On Thursday and Friday we have hundreds of students here on field trips. Here Bill Harley is finishing up the Friday school day. At the same time, adults who are in the know start to arrive and sit in the back for the last children’s stories. (The official festival starts Friday afternoon.) By Friday evening the parking lot is full.
Lots of families come here. There is plenty of room to play by the lakeside during times of tiredness and at break times. Even when listening, the view behind the tellers is beautiful.
I love telling here and look forward always to the next time Trish and I get to come back. (2025!)
