We all have stories to tell.  Big stories of the events that define us.  Small stories about what we had for breakfast and little conversations.   Imaginary stories of lives we could live.  Join cartoonist Lee Post to Folks explore the building blocks of storytelling, learn some of the history behind this form, play with some story prompts, then draft and create a story of their own real or imagined journey on a giant sheet of paper.  Fun for youth, adults and families of all ages.   (Youth in second grade and below will have fun, but will need an adult or teen join them to help.)
