Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s festival! We look forward to another one next June in 2022!

Donna Ingham will be the featured storyteller at the Spirit of Oklahoma Storytelling Festival.  She will tell on Saturday night.  Donna is a humorist and folklorist who takes the ancient art of storytelling and gives it a Texas twist to entertain audiences of all ages.  Hear tall tales, folklore, historical and personal stories told only as a Texan could – or would.
