Timpanogos Storytelling Concert & Giveaway!

It’s cold outside, but next Friday the Sassies will be warming up from the inside-out at the Timpanogos Storytelling concert “Stories to Warm The Soul” featuring Donald Davis and MaryGay Ducey.

Have you been to a storytelling event yet? If not, you are missing something amazing. Surely you’ve seen the billboards and heard the buzz… storytelling festivals are popping up all over the country. Over the last year, several of us have been invited by Cherish Bound (a company that helps you tell your own family stories) to learn more about this fun form of entertainment. Carol Rice, Cherish Bound’s Founder and President has said, “Storytelling is just something you have to experience!” and we found out that she’s right.

Story is something that speaks to us all – we all love a good narrative, don’t we? Maybe your favorite form of story is TV, movies, a good book, your favorite blogs, or just hearing about your friend’s experience looking for a car… whatever it is, we’re all wired to enjoy a good story. But can you imagine one person on a stage taking an entire audience on a journey with nothing more than their voice and a perfectly crafted story… imagine the time flying by as you laugh, reminisce and maybe even cry a little with the storyteller. It’s kind of like magic and if you can imagine that… you can imagine how much you will enjoy the concert. No doubt you’ll come away from the concert thinking a lot about your own stories – that’s where Cherish Bound comes in and next month we will be telling you a lot more them.

The Friday night concert that we will be attending is just part of a full week of events put on by Timpanogos. The Midwinter Conference is the sister to the popular summertime festival and they will hold classes, workshops and concerts of all kinds (if you’re a teacher you can even get credit for attending!). You can check out more information about the entire conference here.

Hopefully you’ll join us at the Friday night concert… bring a date or your whole family (recommended for 8 and up) or grab a friend and make it a girl’s night out.

And now for the Giveaway for the Friday Night Concert!
