If you have a compelling, true story you are willing to share, call (209) 347-0761 or visit https://www.facebook.com/storytellingmariposa to register or to obtain more information. You can sign up at Pony Expresso, High Country or Casto Oaks Wine and Fine Art.  Storytellers may also register to tell a story immediately prior to the Story Slam at 3:30 P.M. on Saturday, May 21 at the Mariposa County Art Park.  Persons delivering a story must be at least 10 years old.  The story needs to be “G” rated; it cannot be read but instead must be either memorized or presented extemporaneously, and no props or costumes may be used.

So, grab a blanket or lawn chair and get ready to sit on the grassy slopes of the Mariposa Art Park to experience an afternoon of listening pleasure.  Three esteemed judges will evaluate stories for content and presentation; they will award cash prizes to the top 3 tellers.

This is a free event, but donations will be gladly accepted to help cover expenses.
