"I cannot express how impressed I am with your festival.  You have contracted the "A" list of the "A" list of storytellers.  The cream of the cream of the crop.  The Masters Classes were excellent.  Volunteers bend over backwards to be helpful and friendly.

"I really enjoyed the storytelling festival.  I could only make it the one night, but it was very entertaining.  TV is hardly worth watching anymore and movies today can be disappointing.  This was good clean family entertainment.  I was expecting to hear some good stories and I did.  What I wasn't expecting was how those stories touched lives.  The stories brough back childhood memories as well as other fond memories.  I was fortunated to take my mother to the festival and we were able to reminisce after the event on some good old times.  I was curious to see how other people felt about the festival and if they were touched by the stories.  I got my answer when the storytellers received a standing ovation at the end of their performance.  I appreciate your efforts and the gamble you took to bring this event to our community."
