It's Spring! And the Story Telling has sprung!
This Friday, March 21, in the main lobby of the Mayo Clinic Hospital, the OHC Writer's Guild will be reading from their stories and poems. An extravaganza of storytelling skills and feats of poetic daring-do!
So far, lined up to share -
Lamar Deal - humorist and gifted storyteller
Julianna Lacefield - a vibrant, vivid and personal poet
T. M. Strait - that's me. A blogger who does his best. I will share stories of my wayward (translation - nerdy) youth and a Crowley Story (my first public reading of a Crowley Story - slice of life tales set on the swamp's edge).
We are still lining up storytellers, so there may be additional surprises!
12:30 PM!
Mayo Clinic Hospital Main Lobby!
UPDATE: Great thanks to Ms. Nelson of the Mayo Clinic for inviting us! Thanks to Lamar Dael, Julianna Lacefield and Connor Griffin for lending their remarkable talents.
Those listening came in and out, as we were in the main lobby of the hospital, but often there were those in rapt attention.
One of Julie's poems caught the attention of the head of Nursing, a poem that was about being a nurse, and they requested a copy to keep up at the hospital. Super kudos to Julie!
We hope it is the beginning of many more similar events to come!
Local organizations - if you're looking for guest speakers or programs - don't forget about the Writer's Guild. WE WILL ENTERTAIN YOU!
