The Four Corners Storytelling Festival is a free, two-day celebration of tall tales.
"There is something for everyone, adults as well as children, at the Four Corners Storytelling Festival,” says Jenny Lee Ryan, The Farmington Public Library Program Coordinator. On October 12th and 13th in Farmington, N.M. professional storytellers will entertain families strolling by festival tents along the Animas River, folks on an evening out at the Totah Theater, as well as children arriving in bright-yellow school buses. This popular event is co-sponsored by The Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau.The festival, now in its 12th year, draws thousands of people, to downtown Farmington, N.M.; exactly 7181 last year according to Ryan. This year’s event includes Appalachian storytellers, Bill Harley and Michael Reno Harrell, returning favorites, and newcomers Barbara McBride-Smith and Angela Lloyd. McBride-Smith is an eclectic performer who is “a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.” Angela Lloyd is a storyteller and a one- woman band coming equipped with an Autoharp, a ukulele, a spoon and a bell.
