A place to share grant sources and other funding opportunities for events, resources and professional development.
Thanks for the invite. I know that there are funds out there, but have never known just how to access them. Seems grant writing is the specialty of few who have figured out the right "buzz words" and nomenclatures. The student is ready and looking...

Margaret Read MacDonald said… - Well I'm just about everywhere these days. Retired from the library so can go and just keep on going. Leave a week from today for Asia and Europe and Bahrain. Was in Africa and Europe all fall. Jenny and Nat are in Bonn, so I have a home away from home there in between gigs. Lovin' it!

- Hi Granny Sue, I was wondering if you would mind if I used your Christmas Spider story. I love your version and would tell my listeners that it is your version. Thanking you in anticipation...

Mike Lockett said… - Hey, Granny Sue!
I read your comment on the Storytelling Presenters' page that you help find storytellers for libraries in your area. Please feel free to look over my site at www.mikelockett.com for your future storytelling needs. I am a 33-year veteran educator who always told stories part-time until my retirement 3 years ago. I am now available to travel across the country - and even have a storytelling book coming out in Taiwan this August. (I also travel internationally.) Best regards, Mike Lockett, The Normal Storyteller

Gail N. Herman said… - Well, I'm glad we can finally communicate. Everytime I tried to email you, it came back. This has been going on for almost 2 years. I kept meaning to tell you. So now we just have to go here and we can talk. I wish I could go to all the WV events. I also want to go to the Conference so much but I'll be in Montana that whole week. It's a once in a lifetime family reunion on my grandfather's former ranch with all my cousins.

- Back on the site again after a long break. It's difficult to keep up with this, email and my daily blog. Are others having the same problem?

New Year's Bonfire
Every year my family lights a bonfire on New Year's Eve to light in the new year. As part of our tradition, we write down the things we're worried about--health, money, family, work problems, etc--and we toss those troubles into the fire.
The first year we did this, we invited family and storyteller friends to email their troubles to us to burn, and many did just that. This is the 9th annual bonfire I believe, and once again I invite my friends and family to send troubles for the fire. If you p… Continue

Christmas Ghost Story
While researching mistletoe, I came across an interesting ghost story. Check my blog to read the story and its many incarnations as ballad, play and more.
I would be interested in hearing any folklore, sayings or legends that others would like to share about mistletoe.

A Christmas Story: The Jar of Rosemary
I found this story in an old collection of tales by Maud Lindsay called the Story-Teller. It's no longer under copyright, and might make a good addition to a Christmas program. It's a little on the sweet side, but counterbalance it with something funny or strange--or it might be useful for Sunday school classes. You can access the story by clicking here. . Leave a comment on my blog to let me know if you visi… Continue

Holiday Stories, Recipes, Folklore and more
Over the past year I have written many blogposts about the holidays, from cooking to natural crafts to family and Appalachian traditions and folklore. To make all of these posts more accessible, I listed them into one post. I though people on this list might like the quick references for stories and other ideas.
