The Downs Arts Council and Kansas Storytelling invites amateur storytellers to tell their favorite tale at the Tall Tales contest on October 14, 7 p.m. in Downs, Kansas.
The popular October preliminary contest will narrow down the contestants to four. The four will then move on to vie for the traveling trophy, the storytelling shovel, at the Kansas Storytelling Festival Tall Tale Contest the last weekend in April.
"A Tall Tale is some truth and some facts. I find great enjoyment telling good-natured stories to a live audience," said Kenneth Lee, Master Storyteller, Downs, Kansas.
For more information and to register to tell a story in the competition, call 785-454-1177.
All are welcome to enjoy an evening of stories that will tickle the funny bone and warm the heart. The contest location is Zion Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 1019 Blunt St., Downs.
