Description
Come gather 'round for tales rooted in Appalachia!
Join us at the Blue Heron Interpretive Center in Kentucky on Saturday, June 14th, for a special guest performance by a skilled local storyteller—Beth Ann Kilburn! She'll be sharing stories at both 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM ET, with each session lasting about 30 minutes. Come be a part of a tradition passed down through generations on the Cumberland Plateau!
Beth Ann Kilburn is proud to have grown up in the hills of McCreary County, Kentucky. She has been sharing stories with others for more than 15 years. Her love of stories began as a young girl as she sat on the front porch, listening to her Granny and PaDaddy share memories. Taking from the folklore of the area, she brings alive the dialect and history of the Appalachian Region that she calls home. Through the art of storytelling, she hopes to take you back to a place where once again your imagination can wonder. This might be through laughter, a little scare or a story that may even leave a tear on your cheek.
Beth Ann is retired from the U. S. Postal Service. She is an avid crocheter, loves sewing and quilting. She is a volunteer for the Big South Fork Scenic Railway and the Polar Express. You will also find her at the Artisan Shop located in Stearns, KY.
