Photos from the National Storytelling Festival
Jonesborough, Tennessee
October 2001

The annual National Storytelling Festival held in Tennessee's oldest town, Jonesborough, during the first weekend of each October is the nation's premiere storytelling event.  Tellers and listeners gather from all over the world for a beautiful autumn weekend of non-stop story.

Here are some photos from the 2001 festival:

Every historic town has its courthouse.


Is this picturesque, or what?!


This is the gazebo where ghost stories are told after dark.
A little creek runs past it, catching the red light
so that the water seems to run with blood.


Here's my older daughter Lindsay 
wearing her teenager face. ;-)


This is Tennessee Quilts,
one of my all-time-favorite quilt shops.
