Note - on Tuesday, August 24th, this event was cancelled due to the severity of COVID-19 in Lincoln County.


If you are able to help out with this event, they need parking lot assistance and (maybe) assistance with setup and tear down.  10AM to 3PM or whatever you can spare.

Press Release says:

"Please join us for a storytelling commemorative event. So many people were affected by the wildfire last year and in different ways. In an effort to support recovery and resiliency we’d like to take a moment to share and listen to personal stories from our community members including survivors, first responders and local businesses. The act of storytelling is a form of empowerment as there is strength in sharing our stories and experiences. 


Recovery from a disaster takes longer than many realize, so there will be opportunities to donate for the ongoing recovery effort at this event. This event is FREE to all community members and will have live music, refreshments and resource information booths. Be sure to bring chairs or blankets for outdoor grass seating and carpool if possible as parking is limited. Current public health recommendations for COVID-19 precautions will be followed."
