Guild Calendar.
Peoria Prairie Tellers Storytellers Guild
provides the community with various entertaining and fun events
throughout the
year. The goals of the group include building audience appreciation
with the
diversity of styles and expressions of the storyteller’s art. It
provides
opportunities for teachers, librarians, day care workers, clergy, scout
leaders
and others to learn about the positive impact of storytelling in their
respective
professions, and to share the love of the spoken word and oral
tradition of
culture and values.
