Cherish Bound and Timpanogos Storytelling Festival
Posted by srwillden on August 13, 2009
My daughter invited me to a local blogger’s event. So I couldn’t decide if I wanted to come or not and I think I called her four times with a no and then a yes and then a no and finally a yes! I am so glad that I went. Cherish Bound hosted a wonderful event. The displays were so creative and attracted you to look and dream. What a great idea for Cherish Bound and the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival to work together. Stories are wonderful. Each picture you take has a story behind it.
I was so pleased to learn about Cherish Bound and their mission to help us to learn how to tell wonderful stories and share them with family and friends. I am planning on writing a story about my mother – the one we have forgotten – because of Alzheimer’s disease.
We were entertained by two storytellers. The first person told a great story about wanting to play high school football and the struggles he had being the smallest player on the team. I think anyone can relate to feeling challenged and wondering if you will make the team.
The second storyteller was Wendy Gourley. She told a delightful story with some fun Peter Pan additions. She sang a few songs during her story and her daughter accompanied Wendy on a guitar. They time flew by and I enjoyed the fun points she made describing what it was like when she was a young girl. It was the same time period that I grew up in and I could remember and picture the details she told in her story. It was so fun to sit, enjoy and remember! I look forward to hearing Wendy at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in September. When I came home I was so excited to tell my husband about it and we plan to attend the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. I have always wondered about it. . .
