About

Foothill Storytelling Guild presents to the Gold Country community of California the Auburn Winter Storytelling Festival on the fourth Saturday in January yearly. During the all-day event stories are told without notes or props using gestures, voice inflections and facial movements that light up the imagination. The one-day event has a children’s hour, a workshop for those learning the art of telling, Open Telling hour where anyone can tell a story, and the popular Liar’s Contest. In the evening, there is two hours of stories for grown-ups told by regional and professional tellers some who are members of the National Storytelling Network, an organization that requires the highest standards for their members.
