You become so immersed in your stories you bring your audience into the story with you. very cool !" I can’t say enough about Carolyn Stearns Talent that can touch the hearts of young and old alike. She has entertained many of us around campfire at many two day Cowboy Mounted Shooting events. I love the way she tells a story, she is able to take you right along with the main character from dark pathways on a windy night to the dusty streets of Tombstone. You can actually put yourself right in the story. Story telling of this caliber has just about become a lost art. It’s not only refreshing to listen to these stories it takes the older folks back to the days when grandma and grandpa would spin yarns. I really can’t speak for the younger set, but it may be their first real experience to actually hear a story that’s not coming from a television or a computer. What a treat! I have also been blessed with Carolyn’s singing and scripture reading at cowboy church at many of our two day shooting events. When you have Carolyn come out to your event ask her to tell the one about the rope. It’s one of my favorites. Cathie Hatrick-Anderson Bobcat Farm “Next, our own Carolyn Stearns from this listserv, who drove all the way from Connecticut took the mic. I never had the pleasure before of meeting Carolyn, except in cyber space, and it was a delight to finally connect and listen to her tell. She shared an interesting, historical story about a young man who fought heroically at Gettysburg and ended up starting the first baseball team when he returned home. There was that audible "ahhhh" moment when she finished. Perfect.” 1/31/09 Artworks Open Mic ( New Bedford, Ma.) Karen Chace What a great time we had listening to Carolyn’s stories at our annual FFA banquet this year! We needed a change of pace from our typical banquet routine and that is exactly what we got! I highly recommend for other youth groups to invite Carolyn in. She will entertain, bring history to life, and teach our youth how to deliver a great story themselves! Cheryl Matthewson Ray FFA Advisor Oct 10,2008 Dear Carolyn, Your Folk and Fairy Tale program was fabulous! We would love to have you back soon to share more of your stories!
