Plains Story Share is operating out of Minnesota now - unfortunately, the plains are not where we live but something I will always carry in my heart.<br />
Soon, after settling in, I will be working with the local libraries to collect stories for the Veterans History Project. Any ideas for story collecting in the extended twin cities area and beyond the suburbs shoot me an email! </div>Story Share Administratorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529797971654594370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432327103564710057.post-89687581862673597352011-06-21T05:20:00.000-07:002011-06-21T05:20:59.048-07:00Stories from Fort Sisseton Festival<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This year Plains Story Share had a 'booth' at the Ft. Sisseton Historic festival and used it as an opportunity to spread the word about the Veterans History Project and collect stories from willing folks. This year turned out to be more of an experiment on how to approach the future of PSS projects than a success story, but we did find a few wonderful people who shared a part of their lives with us.<br />

I have always loved spending time at the state park and cherished the memories created from visiting the festival and this year I may get to engage within the community of participants! <div>Plains Story Share may have a booth at the festival to record stories of festival goers and staff, to work towards new creative projects and capture memories from an endless variety of people. In the best situation, we may be able to work with the park to help them capture stories of their own to archive to help support the park. I don't know what it is, but I love this state park. If you would like to know more information about the festival, and the park, go <a href="http://gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/directory/fort-sisseton/festival-events/historical-festival.aspx">here</a>.</div><div>We will keep you up to date on the specifics of our involvement, but for now, plan to make it to the<b> Fort Sisseton Festival</b> on <b>June 3-5, 2011</b> and we hope to see you there!

I do it a lot, though. When I was a little girl, I spent a lot of time wondering why my parents did the things they did, felt the way they felt. As I have become an adult myself, a lot of these wondering's were resolved as I followed in the footsteps of everyone who is lucky enough to grow older. I know now, though, that I will have to keep wondering about the experiences I don't share with my parents, my friends, my family - and as an exercise to decrease this wondering, I get to ask questions and listen.<br />I had an opportunity to re-live parts of my childhood last month when the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Codington County hosted a weekend of events memorializing the fallen soldiers from that war and re-dedicated the memorial after 25 years. I asked, listened and thought a lot about how to portray what I learned and what it means to me to have these people in my life, in everyone's lives.<br />Listen in to hear Steve Fryslie (my father), Jim Fortin, Jim Elkins, Britt Small and Gordy West share some of their experiences and wisdom with me.<br /><br /><object width="100%" height="81"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5864327&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=cf3913"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5864327&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=cf3913" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" height="81"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/katie-pss-admin/vietnam-vet-memorial-piece">Vietnam Vet Memorial Piece</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/katie-pss-admin">Katie, PSS Admin</a></span><br /><br />Please share this audio piece with anyone you think might enjoy it.

Luckily, we had one intentional participant (Mr. Engelmann) and Harsha was willing to step away from her coffee shop and share a story of her own. Though it seems harder than I originally believed to draw people to share stories with each other, when they show up it is worth it. In a time when we are all comfortable keeping our distance, it serves as a great reminder: I love feeling close to others. Plains Story Share will march on and next month will be incredible! Bring us the Ghost Stories.....Hello, Halloween!<br /><br /><br />I want to note that I do not intend to post my stories continuously. My hope is that soon there will be more recordings from the events and I can leave mine out, lest this becomes a personal depository of my voice.

I was excited to sit with twin brothers Andrew and Jacob Helling, and their partners Kirsten Hansen and Hanna Fetzer, at their house and learn a little about them. As Kirsten mentioned regarding the brothers relationship, when they talk on the phone "the conversation just continues... there is no hello." This is similar to the life of the garden their parents started twenty years ago. Hillside Prairie Gardens has moved to the next generation with Andrew and Jacob. I visited a beautiful self made home filled with delicious smells, friendly people and several kind, hungry-for-love dogs. This home was surrounded by the aptly named hillside gardens where the delicious (confidently written, as they handed me a basket full of vegetables to take and I ate tomatoes on the way home) fresh vegetables and fruit are grown. I continue to learn that the people whose stories I love capturing the most have the most humility and are the most reserved; all good things in life are worth working for.

Each morning, the Vienna Post Office is open and stocked with sweets and fresh coffee by Myra Cluts, the local Postmaster. Twice a day locals come to the post office with cash for the donation can, ready to touch base with people in their community. We recorded a couple of conversational stories to share, as well as an interview with Myra about how the post office came to be the local coffee spot. Listen in to learn about South Dakota square dancing, getting stuck on water locked roads, territorial farmers and jackrabbit hunting in the '70s.</div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><i>above.

I have started this because I want a way to become "un-plugged" and hear interesting stories of others, in person. I am a woman; a mom, a wife and a somewhat isolated person who listens to a lot of talk radio and most importantly - I have a high quality digital audio recording device hiding in my cabinet just waiting to change my life and possibly give other people the chance to share their experiences and have an audio recording to archive.<br /><br />Some links to peruse and see where the inspiration for this idea has come from:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.storycorps.org/">www.storycorps.org</a><br /><a href="http://www.themoth.org/">www.themoth.org</a><br /><a href="http://www.thisamericanlife.org/">www.thisamericanlife.org</a><br /><br />No matter how it happens, there is a priceless value in gathering and sharing and documenting our stories. If the thought of standing in a room and sharing a story makes you nervous, you are not alone. I encourage you to take a leap of faith with me and try.<br />I may end up standing alone in the reserved room at the Brookings Public Library on Wednesday night, August 11th, but I truly hope not.<br /><br />Please join me! Support storytelling in your community.<br />I am asking that anyone willing to participate adhere to the following guidelines:<br /><br /><ul><li>Please come with open ears, ready to respectfully support fellow storytellers.</li><li>Plan to spend 45 minutes to an hour.</li><li>Send and email to plainsstoryshare@gmail.com to RSVP to the gathering, if possible. This is not mandatory and spontaneity is encouraged.</li><li>Try to come with an idea about what you would like to share. An experience - losing a loved one, seeing your old home for the first time in years, anything that resonates strongly in you and wants to come out. Try to tell a 3-5 minute story.</li><li>If interested in sharing an audio file of your story, please sign a release (in person at the gathering) to allow me to post your audio file to this website.<br /></li></ul>As a disclaimer: I have never done this before but I feel strongly about overcoming my fears of reaching out and doing what I love and constantly think about. This is all completely free, not for profit, and anyone sharing their stories owns their stories. If you have any questions at all, please email plainsstoryshare@gmail.com.Story Share Administratorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529797971654594370noreply@blogger.com0
