This subgroup contains the records for the Storytelling Festival, which is held yearly during the last week of February. The Festival is a project sponsored by the University and the Department of Teacher Education, the participating school districts and generous members of the community. On Festival mornings, a conference format of concurrent sessions allows listeners to select from a variety of storytelling genres. Field trips are arranged for classes or schools. Afternoon workshops, seminars and story presentations are available to university students, faculty and staff on the WSU campus. Outreach story concerts are held at area schools. National storytellers present their superlative tales at events scheduled for each evening of the festival including family oriented story concerts and a special fund raising banquet.
