Yarn: Back to School

Overview

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment; it is also how history and knowledge has been passed through from generation to generation and at one point was a primary form of learning. On the topic of learning, school can almost be seen and a transference of knowledge from teacher to student by story telling. Well, maybe that is a bit of a reach, but it gives me a nice segue to an interesting event taking place at Black Bear Lodge this week.

Yarn is a night dedicated to story telling. Seeing as school holidays are coming to an end, the theme of this night is ‘Back To School’. Tales from the classroom, playground, 'behind the bleachers' (heh heh heh); there are stories everywhere. People of every level of the school social order spectrum are encouraged to come and share their tales of their learning years, perhaps there is still more to learn about ourselves through the stories of others.
