Storyfest features Kentucky authors

Several agencies combined efforts to sponsor Storyfest which brought two author/storytellers to Adair County Middle School Friday evening. All ACMS students and their families were invited to attend and enjoy storytelling and refreshments.

Featured Kentucky authors and storytellers were Roberta Simpson Brown and Dr. William Lynwood Montell.

The event was held Friday, October 17, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the courtyard at the Adair County Middle School. If you haven't see it yet, make a point to go there. It is quite an asset to the former high school building.

It was sponsored by: ACMS Media Center, Title I, KRA Youth Services, Future Connections, Project Excel and the Janice Holt Giles Memorial Adair County Public Library.
