Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- On Sunday afternoon, January 9th at Callanwolde, the Southern Order of Storytellers presents "Stories for a Cold Winter's Eve" - an hour and a half of great stories! The show starts at 4:00.

Tickets are $15.00 and will be available in advance through the Southern Order of Storytellers website and the day of the show at Callanwolde. Visit http://southernorderofstorytellers.org/events/stories-for-a-cold-winters-eve/ and http://Callanwolde.org for details.

The concert is in the spirit of the Appalachian tradition celebrating the end of the holiday season.

Shannon McNeal grew up listening to her grandfather telling tales about their family. She inherited his talent for spinning tragedy into comedy and loves to share her stories about growing up in Alabama.  She will share a story about Alabama Christmases - driving the truck into the woods to find the perfect tree, learning to open and re-wrap your presents undetected - all vintage Shannon! Visit http://shannonmcneal.com for more information.

Also telling stories that afternoon will be veteran and accomplished storytellers Ron Kemp and Jan Cribbs.  

Ron Kemp will be telling "Goodness, Gracious Snakes Alive!," a story about how he and his friend, B.W., became snake salesmen. Ron uses Southern wisdom, wit, humor, facts, fiction, and a few tall tales thrown in for good measure.

Jan Cribbs will be telling an Epiphany story, one with an unusual perspective on what happened when the Wise Men arrived at the stable.  Jan has a master's degree in storytelling from East Tennessee State University and tells stories that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Emcee, Feriel Feldman is past president of the Southern Order of Storytellers.  She is a director, actor, storyteller, and has had teenage storytelling troupes for the last twenty years.

What better way to start the New Year?
