Storytelling Festival

Hilarious

I actually enjoyed it


I have to wake up at what time, on a Saturday to listen to someone tell a story. This was my first thought when Lacey and I decided to go to the storytelling festival Saturday at 9:30. Once it was over, I actually really enjoyed myself.
The first lady, Olga Loya, was an extraordinary storyteller, but they were stories that you must listen to in depth or you will miss a very important part to the story. At first I did not like the stories she was telling because it was very hard for me to concentrate, but once I finally caught onto her stories they have very good life lessons hidden within. I did very much enjoy her improv storyelling, for the reason that improv has a very special place in my heart.
The second man, Bil Lepp, was hilarious. Hearing his stories is what made the whole experience worth waking up early on a Saturday for. He really got into his stories and I could very much tell that he enjoyed telling stories. He kept me wondering what else was going to happen within the story. I laughed so much more then I thought I was going to especially so early in the morning. It makes me want to go back next year just to go!
