Ongoing Until Filled--Volunteers
Provo Pioneer Village is starting a storytelling evening on Monday nights throughout the summer - June through August. Elaine Brewster is seeking tellers who would each like to come tell on a Monday night (6-7 pm).
The telling will be outside under a canopy—intimate enough for small groups, but open enough for a larger group. If it rains, we can duck into the Carriage House. Our sweet little Village is located in Provo on 5th West between 5th and 6th North. This telling evening gives an opportunity to tell old tales or Pioneer tales. But people of that era simply told stories, so really, any story, even personal stories, would be appropriate. The point is for people to get together in the
“old-fashioned tradition” of listening to stories. There are 13 Mondays in the summer, so I can only accommodate 13 tellers. It is volunteer. First come, first served. If interested, contact Elaine at brewstersinger@me.com.

Featured Story Artist: Dale H. Boam
Theme: "So My Grandfather and I...": Don't Worry, The Statute of Limitations Has Passed
Dale H. Boam's Grandpa thought the idea of fun was never, strictly speaking, always what you would objectively call "safe." During his life as a veterinarian, he had broken his fingers so many times he could point at all nine planets and one near-earth
object at the same time. Broken bones were just expected, and sometimes, just sometimes, hilarious. Dale has a varied resume as he is a liar, lawyer, tenured languages professor, certified ASL Interpreter, and voice-over actor. He would call himself a Renaissance Man, but he can't do math.
Suggested Donation: $15.00+/person, $25.00+/couple or family, though any amount welcomed, best for teens and adults
