Supper on the Terrace

Supper and snacks will be served on the terrace by the river

 at the Alabama Tale-Tellin' Festival this weekend. 

While this picture is from last year's festival, skies will be clear again

 with perfectly pleasant temperatures for outside dining and visiting. 

The Tale-Tellin' stage is inside, but doors will be open

 to let in the cool evening air. 

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for supper and the Swappin' Ground 

(where you can tell YOUR stories), and the main event with music and comedy

 by The Dill Pickers and tales by Donald Davis and Bobby Norfolk

 begins at 7. Tickets are available at the gate.

Swappin' Ground Tales

This lady knew how to use facial expressions and hand motions to tell her story

 at last year's Alabama Tale-Tellin' Swappin' Ground. The tales begin again

 for the 35th annual festival this Friday and Saturday.

 Swappin' Ground, where folks like you can tell a tale,

  starts at 5:30, and the main event featuring nationally known storytellers

 and The Dill Pickers String Band/comedy troupe, begins at 7.

 Meanwhile, storytelling tips can be found all over the Web.

Tastes of Tale-Tellin'

Before the music and stories begin, come early and have a taste of Tale-Tellin'!

Supper will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12/13 

in the Carneal ArtsRevive courtyard by the Alabama River.

 In the photo, last year's menu included Lannie's barbecue sandwiches,

 hot dogs, moonpies, cookies, chips, soft drinks and bottled water.
