Timpanogos Storytelling Festival

 We have just finished the 35th Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Lehi, Utah.


The festival is held in the beautiful Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point.  This fifty-five acre garden is a destination in itself as well as the setting for this remarkably outstanding festival.


This anniversary year featured an astounding lineup of tellers.  Joining me were Andy Offutt Irwin, Sheila Arnold, Kevin Kling, Adam Booth, Bil Lepp, Jasmine Cardenas, Charlotte Blake-Alston, Dolores Hydock, Moe Reynolds, Deb’s Newbold, Andy Hedges, and others.

  Most of the sessions were also started by a story from a National Youth Teller.


In addition to the tent stages during the daytimes, evenings were held at the outdoor Amphitheatre holding an unknown number of people as well as indoor performances at the indoor Show Barn.

This is one of the Festivals at which I tell every year. It is a favorite extra home for Trish and for me.
