and here is a list of story telling festivals.
there used to be a nice one in North Columbia
in the hills above Nevada City at an old one-

or two but may be held again by popular demand.
see one of these gatherings...

there is a tradition of holding tellabrations on
the weekend before thanksgiving...a good tradition to uphold!
it looks like the http://www.sierrastorytellingfestival.org/
is held as well as the the http://www.upliftingstories.org/
there are many tellers out there with stories...some with
music, costumes, even "cat's cradle" string figures to illustrate
why not plan to go to a story telling festival in Jackie's memory?!
