Make your plans to attend the
Azalea Storytelling Festival in
LaGrange on March 5-7. Donald
Davis, one of the nationally acclaimed
storytellers featured at this festival,
spent time with the students at
Hogansville Elementary School last
week. His specialty is telling original
and traditional Southern stories. Our
Youth Librarian, Yvonne Bledsoe,
was invited to join in the activities
and observed that the students en-
joyed his stories very much. She said
he also gave them useful information
about the art of storytelling and en-
couraged them to find opportunities
to develop their skills.
Students in the fifth grade pre-
sented a play they created from an
Appalachian story entitled "Down,
Down the Mountain". The story is
about Hetty and I-tank eating corn-
bread from an iron skillet and raising
turnips to earn money to buy shoes.
Ms. Bledsoe had read this story at the
school during Heritage Day activi-
ties last October. Mr. Davis gave the
students tips on dramatizing a story.
Other nationally acclaimed story-
tellers featured at the Azalea
Storytelling Festival are Milbre Butch
and Rex Ellis. Nancy Kavanaugh,
chair of the board of directors of the
National Storytelling Association is
Master of Ceremonies. Other story-
tellers on the program are Sam and
Sallie Worley "One Heart", Pam
McGrath, and Hosansville's own
Carol Cain. As we all know, Carol
Cain lights up the stage with her zany
folktales, family stories, and award-
winning historical monologues.
Don't miss the fun at the Azalea
Storytelling Festival. Brochures with
registration and program information

Hogansville Poet Named To Who's Who
M. Rosser Lunsford, Poet Laure-
ate of Putnam County and
Cold Day
On Sinclair
Tree tops bend this way and that,
droplets O f rain chill the air,
whitecaps lash the stable shore
on a boatless Lake Sinclair...
Birds and squirrels are hidden,
many leaves cover the ground,
wind through the pines hums its
song
as evergreens bounce around...
Docks are bare, waiting for spring,
gray skies reach down to earth,
smoke from chimneys blows
groundward
and all life is at a hush...
Hogansville's native son, was recently
named to the International Who's
Who of Authors and Writers. Since be recognized globally as the premier
Mountain Of Hope.
We humans strive to peak
the mountain of hope;
Upward we climb with picks
of dreams and hearts of rope...
Some fill their desires of life
and depart to a safe ledge;
Others fall back or continue on
for what is hope but a pledge...
Some reach the high summit
and gain life's every thrill;
Careful they must be up there
for now it's all down hill.
