About the event
Join us as we bring in the New Year with our Pourquoi Story Swap on January 23 at 7 pm. There are many types of stories or story genres. An extraordinary kind of story is called a Pourquoi story. Many legends, origin myths, and folk tales are Pourquoi stories. Stories like How the Tiger Got its Stripes or Why Mosiqutos Buzz in People's Ears are some examples. There are plenty of examples of Pourquoi Folk Tales that have been handed down for many generations. Do some research, find a story that speaks to you, and then share it. Let Me Tell Ya! is a safe space for storytellers and listeners who want to experience the magic of storytelling. We ask for the stories to be 5 to 7 minutes in length. When you RSVP for this free event, you will receive an email with the Zoom link. You can join our "Ruminations of a Raconteur" newsletter by clicking on the Contact tab. Zoom links for all Let Me Tell Ya! events are included in the newsletter.
