| The La Crosse Storytelling Festival was first conceived in 2003 by two local attorneys, Keith Belzer and Ted Skemp. Through their efforts and backing, the first 3 festivals took place at Pettibone Park in La Crosse. It was in these first years that some groundwork was lain for all following festivals; the festival would be first and foremost a family event, the level of national talent would be of the highest caliber, the festival would highlight professional local tellers, and the event would serve as a way to educate the general public about storytelling. In 2006 the Bluff Country Tale Spinners storytelling guild took on the major responsibility for the La Crosse Storytelling Festival. It is now the only storytelling festival in the state of Wisconsin and continues to meet the initial objectives. The La Crosse Storytelling Festival is being held at Myrick Park - in and around the Main shelter. Come and enjoy the magic of storytelling! |
