Cost: Free, open to all ages Location: Door-to-door in Murray
neighborhoods near Murray City Park, map to be provided at event
Details: Story Blasting is a bunch of people telling 1-3-minute stories from door-to-door in the neighborhood after fliers were delivered ahead of time so neighbors expect these stories. The fliers also invite neighbors to share their own 1-3-minute stories after listening to the
stories. It will be a fun way to spread the word about Story Crossroads while getting to know our neighbors better. The reason we do it on May 16th is to let people know that the 3rd Annual Story Crossroads Festival kicks off May 23, 2018 (with outreaches May 21-24, 2018). Go to website for more details.
