Join talented tellers from throughout New Jersey and the tri-state area Saturday, September 15, for the 26th New Jersey Storytelling Festival and hear a whole new crop of stories cultivating good times for all ages at Howell Living History Farm. The fun begins with the Story Slam from noon to 1 p.m. Contestants will be chosen at random to recount a 5-minute or less personal tale on the theme of “Chicken!” Outrageous, thought-provoking, and adventurous personal tales are welcome but please keep in mind that content and expression should be family-friendly, and the story must connect with the overall theme. A continuous rotation of tellers will perform throughout the farm from 1 to 5 p.m., offering bales of laughter and stories from near and far. The festival’s signature close, the Lightning Round, closes out the day when tellers will share two-minute tales in quick succession, from 5 to 6 p.m.
