Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Better Said Than Done storytellers have gotten to take August off, but we are redoubling our storytelling events in September. We have so much coming up in the world of Virginia storytelling that I thought I’d just lay it all out there.

BSTD fans and friends, meet Emma. Emma, forget meeting anyone and please, please, please, just go to sleep!
Now, on to the storytelling events coming soon!
