Utah Storytelling Guild Presents
Frontier StoryFest
FRIDAY • 10am, Noon, 2pm • Adults $5/Kids $3
Laugh along with the tall tales of a mountain man and cry for joy with the pioneer women and children through their everyday adventures as you explore the storytelling frontier. Immersed in the tales told by your storyteller guides and Youth Tall Tale finalists, you may think to hear the wagon wheels kick up dust in the desert or imagine smelling the sweet grass of the plains. At times the tellers may turn to you to participate in songs or chants that pioneer families often shared together around the campfire. You may discover that the courageous frontier spirit can also be found in you.
