Fourth Grade Storytelling Festival

This program is funded in part by Grassroots funds of the North Carolina Arts Council

The Fourth Grade Storytelling Festival is held each year for all fourth grade students at Hickory Ridge Homestead. Local storytellers share new and traditional stories from the Appalachian region and the world, and students receive living history tours of Hickory Ridge Homestead as well.

This year’s festival was co-sponsored by, and held at, The Turchin Center for the Visual Arts on April 25.  Tellers included Orville Hicks, Glenn Bolick, Charlotte Ross, and Lorraine Clarkson.
