Overview: Pioneers and frontiersmen of the 1820-1860 entertained themselves by jumping into the fantastic through a tall tale. Whether hearing about the giant logger Paul Bunyan or the man-cub turned cowboy Pecos Bill, there were always elements of historical or natural truth. The tales reflected the awe and hope that the people had for the vast forests, the magnificent mountains, and the immense desserts of the West.
Judges will look for the following in your story--
* Talking to and connecting with the audience
* Hero shows strength and skills with exaggeration and/or humor
* Story explains how at least one thing came to be (Ex. Great Salt Lake, Wasatch Mountains, seagulls, etc.)
