Hope you, too, are "Goin' to Jackson"!
I
wanted to make sure you knew about all the activities associated with
this year’s Jackson Storyfest. This a great opportunity for us to come
out and support one of the state’s great festivals, enjoy wonderful
storytelling and rub elbows with fellow storytellers. I hope you can
come and share in the fun.
