Fort Sisseton Festival!

Since I was a young girl, my mother would take me to the Fort Sisseton Festival for a day in June for some great mother and daughter time. 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!

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 here.

We will keep you up to date on the specifics of our involvement, but for now, plan to make it to the Fort Sisseton Festival on June 3-5, 2011 and we hope to see you there! (p.s. we will be dressed like frontiers....)

What is this?

This is a place to hear the stories shared with Plains Story Share, a cooperative storytelling group. Previously located in eastern South Dakota, Plains Story Share is now using Howard Lake, MN as home base. Plains Story Share is committed to participating in interesting events and continues to pursue experiments in audio journalism. Plains Story Share was started as a way for anyone and everyone to take part in sharing a personal, meaningful story that the world would otherwise miss. Inspired by NPR programming, such as StoryCorps and This American Life, Plains Story Share is a way to be a part of an interesting experience, in person, in your community. Each story told is recorded and uploaded to this website to share with the world, with the permission of the author/speaker.
