Once a year, storytellers gather from all over the United States to a wonderful two-day event in Downs, the storytelling capital of Kansas. This weekend, the tellers take the listeners to a magic world through storytelling on September 17 and 18, 2021.
Headlining the Kansas Storytelling Festival 2021 festival are Tim Lowry, Dan Keding, Anne Rutherford, Adam Booth, and Regi Carpenter.
Tim Lowry serves a refreshing brew of historical facts, regional folk tales, and personal narratives garnished with poetic language that is never saccharine but unmistakably Southern.  www.storytellertimlowry.com
