SARANAC LAKE – The Adirondack Center for Writing and North Country Public Radio have announced the final six Howl Story Slams of the 2024 season.
The first took place on August 14 at Ausable Brewing Company in Keeseville. Additional story slams are planned for August 22 at Bolton Landing Brewing Company, September 5 at Malone in Prairie’s Orchard, September 18 at Potsdam at 1844 House, October 23 at Saratoga Springs at Caffe Lena, and November 12 at Tupper Lake at Raquette River Brewing Company.
The theme of these six events is “Close.”
For more information about all events, visit ACW’s events page at adirondackcenterforwriting.org/events.
Anyone can sign up to tell a story. Stories must be true, less than five minutes long, and told without notes. Storytellers are judged by select audience members – on quality, adherence to theme, and adherence to time – and a winner is announced at the end of each night. Each 2024 winner will be invited to compete in the Howl Grand Slam in early January.
So far this year, the Howl Story Slam has taken place in Plattsburgh, Morristown, Upper Jay, Indian Lake, Saranac Lake and Wanakena. Over 400 attendees have listened to nearly 60 different storytellers – six of whom have secured their spot for the Grand Slam.
No tickets are required, and a $10 donation is suggested for each slam, which will be split between ACW and NCPR, two northern nonprofits dedicated to fostering a love of storytelling.
The Adirondack Center for Writing has been bringing people and words together through provocative events and meaningful programs for 25 years. For more information about the ACW, visit adirondackcenterforwriting.org.
