"2020 has been a year like none we have ever experienced, but that didn’t stop us from keeping storytelling alive in our schools and community. We worked with professional storytellers to bring the 33rd annual Jackson Storyfest to schools, senior centers, and homes virtually in the form of workshops, storytelling sessions, and the Storyfest Showcase!...
