The Terrace Gate

If you see a sunflower on the terrace gate, then you know it time for storytelling!

Most folks around here associate sunflowers with the late Kathryn Tucker Windham,
 who founded the Alabama Tale-Tellin' Festival 36 years ago.
 The festival has had many venues during those years,
 and now it's located at Carneal ArtsRevive
 on the banks of the Alabama River. 

The festival is this weekend, so join us for some great family fun!
