The Traveling Tellers most recently performed at the combined Zion's Storytelling Festival and the Utah Storytelling Guild's 2007 Storyfest in St. George. They told stories at Springdale Elementary in the afternoon on Friday, May 4th and then entertained the community at an evening program that same day. On Saturday,
The Traveling Tellers created a program that was a salute to pioneers moving westward along the Oregon Trail and the Mormon hand-cart trek. The Springdale Community contributed to a two-hour program of Springdale's talent.
