At the Kearney Area Storytelling Festival, professional storytellers—along with area tellers—present the art of storytelling in many area venues.

Joe Hayes will present Stories for Preschoolers at the Kearney Public Library at 10:30 a.m. on February 9.

Joe Hayes has traveled the country telling stories for over 40 years. This pioneer of bilingual Spanish/English storytelling has published over 25 books, many in both English and Spanish. He was the resident storyteller at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian for 39 years.
