Storytellig Festival

My storytelling teacher set up a storytelling festival to go down in the town of Athlone where we are staying. Her and other people from the town got donations and set the whole thing up! This was there first one they had ever done here. It was called the 3 river storytelling festival. The three rivers were The Shanon, The river Suck (that's not how its spelled but its how it is pronounced), and The Salt river from Arizona! We had a story teller come and tell stories and a musician from Athlone who played a flute and a little pipe. Our teacher had three students from our class participate and I was one of them. We all did really well. We had a lot of fun doing it and listening to all the stories. Someone from the paper was there and so hopefully we are in the paper! There is not a picture of me sorry I am not talented enough to tell a story and take a picture of myself at the same time!! Here is our musician he was so nice and did a really nice job! I think that this was my favorite part about the whole night. It was beautiful music!
This is Amber! She did so good! She told us a story about A princess with too much pride.
Here is Jake telling his story about a boy that had no story! He is such a natural at it!
Here is the featured story teller, his name is Jack Lynch. He told us stories that he made up and that were ones that were greatly known. He had us laughing the entire night!
