This year the site will welcome back Marilyn Kinsella. Since 1981, Marilyn Kinsella, from Fairview Heights, Illinois, has been telling stories. She started while teaching school in the Metro-St. Louis area. Her collection of stories has grown from a handful to hundreds of stories that include personal experiences, folktales, literary stories and historical tales. Her style has been described as "animated." She uses "word imaging" to color-enhance the story. Bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit on. Refreshments will be provided.
