Lies and Pies -
A Festival of Fun on Stage
Creating a fun “festival” yarn stretching on the stage. Reviving a decade-old tradition of yarn-spinning, tall tale-telling, and big fib-stretching, where music sets the tone. From the liar’s bench at the hardware store to the possum drop. Sink your teeth into a slice of home-cooked humor. Add a homemade pie as a tasty treat and let the good times roll! Come join the fun!

Evening of Appalachian Tales
Grab a seat, sit a spell, and enjoy the view for an evening of mountain music, story, dancing and more.

Young and old storytellers, writers, poets, and singer / songwriters take the stage!
