Author Valerie Harmon Judges Storytelling Contest

I had the fun opportunity to judge a storytelling contest!

This contest was called Just Believe, Utah's Biggest Liar Contest, part of the locally famous Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. It was held on April 1st, which was particularly satisfying, considering tall tales were the order of the day.

My daughter joined me

The youth winner. Wow she could storytell!

The adult winner, so fun to listen to!

Note their awards: Golden shovels! Perfect for a tall tale storyteller!

It was a delightful evening, and I couldn't believe the quality of storyteller. I believe the youth winner was only 6 years old! I hope I'm invited back to judge next year.
