Illinois Storytelling Festival 2008:

After 23 great years of storytelling in Spring Grove, Illinois we’re moving forward with plans to change the venue, date, and look of the festival. The board is excitedly pursuing new venues.
Here’s what we’re working on:

• ghost stories under the September full moon at a rural corn maze
• concerts, workshops, open mics, and school group visits at an urban college
• winter tales at a suburban forest preserve
  

We’ll keep you informed as plans take shape.

September 13, 2008

What do you get when you join the world's largest corn maze with
