Treading water in a dark lake surrounded by sharp-toothed mammals dangerously lurking beneath…sometimes life takes you on unexpected journeys for which you couldn’t possibly be prepared. How do you avoid being pulled down and keep your head above water? How do you stay grounded and true to your life’s passions, no matter what life hurls your way? Beth Horner’s answer: In the midst of chaos, “Don’t sell your cows!” Horner’s unorthodox methods will be revealed during this insightful and hilarious evening of stories to kick off a new year.
Horner came to the art of storytelling naturally, having been raised in Boone County, Missouri by a city grandmother who told her fairy tales learned from library books, an English professor mother who introduced her to literature and poetry, a sister who made her a star in farmyard productions of plays and musicals, and a farmer/meteorologist father who regaled her with stories of her ancestors – of both good and questionable repute!
After a performance at Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Lehi, Utah, Horner was described as a having “a wit so sharp, you can shave with it!” She is a National Storytelling Network 2007 Circle of Excellence Award winner and has told stories for NASA and National Geographic.
