Art of the Story: A Family Storytelling Festival

There are many exciting performers for this year’s WCCLS Tenth Annual Storytelling Festival, April 5-12. For a full schedule of countywide activities, pick up a brochure at the library or visit the WCCLS website at wccls.org/festival.

“Bright Ideas Gone Bad” will be performed by Bil Lepp at the Cedar Mill Library at 7 pm on Friday, April 11. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and then...Bil Lepp is a professional storyteller who tells family friendly, humorous tall-tales that delight audiences young and old all across the country. Event is free and suitable for age six and up.
