Storytelling Celebration, a Sore Face, and Bagpipes?

A record crowd gathered for the celebration of World Storytelling Day on Thursday, March 11th at Just Us Cafe on Spring Garden Road. I could only stay for half of the event because of other commitments, but Wow!...what a variety of stories! Two of the stories I heard were so funny, I left with a sore face from laughing.
If you were at this event, please comment at the bottom and let me know how the rest of the evening went....I've heard rumours there were bagpipes and stories??? Sorry I missed that.

Since St. Paddy's day is just around the corner, why not celebrate your inner, outer, inate, inordinate Irish and bring something Irish to share. It doesn't have to be a song or story, you can maybe dye your hair green, wear a Fair Isle sweater, smuggle in a Leprechaun....

If you are free on Friday, please join us. Tell your friends and family. The space is cozy, the coffee is great and the fun is contagious!

Yours in folk,
Host/co-ordinators: Margo Carruthers 425-3828, Cindy Campbell 466-0157
