TRUE STORIES TOLD LIVE THE COYOTE TALES WAY UNDER THE STARS AT IVINS CITY HERITAGE PARK
Pre-show BYOP picnic: 7:00pm
Stories begin at sundown
THIS EVENT IS FREE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME
The evening begins with a BYOP (bring your own picnic) pre-party with great Stillhouse Road Bluegrass music where potential storytellers put their name in the hat with the hope of being chosen to share their tale on stage. Kayenta Homes and Properties will be hosting the upscale water trough providing FREE beverages and cookies for story lovers.
THE THEME FOR THE EVENING’S STORIES IS:
FIRST
Prepare a 5-minute story about your maiden voyage into uncharted territory. Tell us about your first standing ovation, miserable failure, kiss, crisis of conscience, job, pet, trip overseas, grandchild or fistfight. Do you have a story about a grand openings, birth order, wild initiations or a milestone reached? Do tell.
PLEASE REMEMBER, YOUR STORY MUST BE YOUR STORY
Were you there? Are you the main character? Your participation in the story as it happened is essential. We are after true, first-person narrative stories told within the given time frame.
THIS EVENT IS FREE!

MEET THE AUTHOR LUNCHEON WITH COYOTE TALES STORYTELLER NAN SEYMOUR
100% OF PROCEEDS BENEFIT SAVE OUR GREAT SALT LAKE
Please join Petite Feast for an afternoon with Nan Seymour, Coyote Tales special guest storyteller, poet, and author of Irreplaceable. During the luncheon, Nan will speak about her community building on behalf of the imperiled Great Salt Lake. She will also share some brief excerpts from her lake-facing literary works.
As poet-in-residence on Antelope Island, Nan led day-and-night vigils on behalf of the Great Salt Lake throughout the 2022 and 2023 Utah State legislative sessions. During her weeks on the receding lake shore, she assembled the praise poem called irreplaceable, a collective love letter containing over 400 individual voices from citizens.
The 2024 winter vigil featured twice daily demonstrations of love for the lake at the Utah State Capitol. Advocates of all ages walked with giant blue and white fabric waves in silence every morning and celebrated the lake’s many species with jubilant singing and dancing each evening. Over 1200 people participated in the 68 demonstrations during the session.
Tickets are required for Petite Feast's Meet the Storyteller Luncheon with Nan Seymour. Purchase your seats @ https://petitefeastutah.com/.../lunch-with-the-author.../
