Angus Barn Tellabration 2012
Jeanette Harjo reports: "A crowd of over forty people and three dogs gathered around the bed of an old 1951 International hay truck to enjoy stories told by Teresa Black, Sky Shivers, and Jeanette and Phillip Harjo. Refreshments were enjoyed in the Old Angus Barn following the performance. With songs of the coyotes, a sky full of stars, and the American flag flying a special evening was had by all."

Storytellers convened for the Watonga Tellabration on Nov. 12, 2011.
