The power of storytelling is undeniable. It taps into our emotions, builds empathy, fosters engagement, expands our knowledge of other cultures, broadens our perspectives, conveys complex ideas in a relatable manner, strengthens relationships and drives action. The Friends of the Whitney Community Center Board in Jackson, NH is delighted to present the inaugural Mt. Washington Valley Storytelling Festival welcoming four premier storytellers. The White Mountains in September offer spectacular scenery, cooler temperatures and abundant activities and what better place to enjoy all the mountains have to offer than Jackson, NH, a classic New Hampshire village.
