Both in folk tales and in stories from life we learn how people can meet terror with incredible acts of bravery and goodness. Through these examples we learn how to survive and overcome. While some of our stories take these matters seriously, others take a more humorous slant. And we are grateful that we can tell these stories instead of living them. Besides Bodman, members of the Black Hills Storytellers include Trish Ball from Piedmont, Sharon Henry from Sturgis, Liz Tarby, Shari O'Keefe, and Carol Mapa from Rapid City, and Frances Makepeace of Sturgis.
Newcomers are welcome to attend.
