All week long we’ve been bringing you stories from our last event at Fenner Nature Center, where the theme was “blazing a trail.” Here’s a story from storyteller Marissa Thaler about how her mom helped their family change course.

 

 

WKAR’s next “Pop-Up Stories” event is coming up fast, it’s this Friday night at the Great Lakes Folk Festival. We hope you’ll join us from 6:30 to 8 for community storytelling inspired by the theme “on the road again.”
