HUNTINGDON — As part of the Huntingdon Heritage Festival, Carroll Arts, Inc. is hosting its annual Storytelling at the municipal building to the right of the Dixie Carter Performing Arts and Academic Enrichment Center in Huntingdon on Saturday, September 23.

A diverse group of storytellers are scheduled to entertain from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds during the 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This storytelling has been an annual event for Carroll Arts providing audiences examples of this ancient artform which has become less well-known in our area in recent years.

Storytelling entertains by communicating traditions, sharing moral positions and values, telling experiences which are common to all, and illustrating challenging concepts in a simple manner. All participants in this event are local people who are sharing their tales with their neighbors and friends in a spirit of community.
