Our local professional tellers have experience telling to large and small groups from all walks of life. We can (and have) told at business meetings, organization meetings, Red Hat Societies, Church events, health organizations, at all levels of education (pre-K – Higher Ed), festivals, dinners, holiday celebrations, library programs, etc. Contact Terry at talesbyterry@aol.com
Want to join in on the fun of storytelling? Become a part of the Bluff Country Tale Spinners (BCTS)!
During BCTS guild meetings, announcements are made about current local, state, regional, and national storytelling events and there is a brief time used for guild business. However, most of the time is spent sharing stories. Beginner through advanced tellers share stories and receive feedback from Guild members.
Storytellers do not have to be professional, they only need to have a love of stories. Shared stories come from personal experience, folklore, legends, history and numerous other sources. Story listeners are always welcome!
BCTS Meetings are held the second Thursday of every month from 6:30- 8:00 p.m. at the Moose Lodge on West Ave. For more information contact Teri Wachuta at wachutateri@yahoo.com
