GUEST,Sue National Storytelling Festival 1-3 Oct 2010 TN-US (41) RE: National Storytelling Festival 1-3 Oct 2010 TN-US 01 Oct 10

And we can't ever forget Ray Hicks!

I have to say I'm really disappointed because in the last few years the cost of the Jonesborough festival has gone up so much that a lot of folks with children who love storytelling can't afford it.
My first time was when my daughter's kindergarten class went in 1981 (?) and we went every year after that, up until about 3-4 years ago. The last time my husband and I went we took our small grandson and he was mesmerized by the stories and the colorful tellers. We enjoyed that tremendously.
People do come from all over, and I'm sure the town of Jonesborough makes a hefty profit, but is it worth denying local young families the opportunity because of the cost?
