STORYTELLING FESTIVAL – We had nine members show up for playing at the Storytelling Festival on Saturday, September 18, 2021.     Rudy Ryan spent the day teaching people who had an interest in learning to how to play the mountain dulcimer while the other eight played for a small walk-by audience.    As it was in April at Spring Planting Day, the event was hampered by passing rain showers, however, we all had a good time.    Below is link to videos of us playing.
