Pam Schweitzer loves a good folk tale and loves to learn about other people through the stories they tell. She is a board member of Story Arts of Minnesota and has actively organized five different StoryFests since 2018. Her style of storytelling is very physical and she uses physical humor to tell the story. As a literacy intervention specialist, she knows the need that children have to cultivate their imaginations, grow their understanding of how they relate to this world and the understanding of how to navigate that world. The wonder of story is that it does all those things, and is a blast. Pam weaves interaction into her stories encouraging everyone to come along and enjoy the fun.
Sue Searing loves to share all sorts of stories: traditional folk and fairy tales; stories drawn from history and family lore; and original tales inspired by her own life experiences. Sue has performed at schools, theaters, churches, breweries, libraries, and coffeehouses, and at the State Fair. She engages audiences online and on the radio, as well as in person. Sue has won story slams in the Twin Cities and took first place in the Great American Story Contest in Park Rapids, MN. She is a member of SAM’s board of directors and manages SAM’s online presence.
Although everyone is welcome at Saturday Morning Stories, this participatory program will appeal most to school-aged youth.
