Missy Lilje telling her Pop-Up Story at Allen Marketplace

Missy Lilje was a storyteller at our most recent Pop-Up Stories event on the theme of "Putting Down Roots."

It’s time for a Pop-Up Story! This one is from our last event at Allen Marketplace, where the theme was “Putting Down Roots.” It's from Missy Lilje, who describes how her roots called her home.

We hope to see you next Wednesday August 10th at Valley Court Park in East Lansing for our next Pop Up Stories. It starts at 7 p.m. The theme is “The Call of the Wild.”
