Join us for our friendly competitive storytelling event on the theme of hope. Be prepared to share your true, original five-minute story--or just come to enjoy listening!

This open-mic storytelling event promises to be fun and inspiring for storytellers and audience members alike. Participants prepare a five-minute true personal story around the theme of hope: What have you achieved by not giving up? When has someone helped you to see what's possible? When have you looked for hope but struggled to keep going? When did you get what you hoped for and wished that you hadn't? How have you inspired someone to pursue something better? Funny, sad, moving, life-changing--share your take on hope in your life. A panel of local judges will select the evening's winner.

The event honors Bill Skiff, the founder of the Williston-Richmond Rotary Club, a retired longtime educator and consummate storyteller. Bill will be attending the event and will share a short personal story of his own.

$20 ticket includes refreshments. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. - Storytelling begins at 5:00 p.m.
