KAUNEONGA LAKE, NY — The Bethel Council of the Arts (BCA) will host the next edition of Yarnslingers on Sunday, August 26 at 2 p.m. The theme is siblings, and the stories will be presented at ArtSpace, located at 3575 State Rte. 55.

Dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling, Yarnslingers was founded in upstate New York in 2007 by writer/musician Ramona Jan. “Everyone has a story… or two,” says Jan, who encourages local people from all walks of life to spin their spellbinding tales. Yarnslingers are first-person storytellers who present true stories in front of live audiences for free, with a mission to promote the craft of storytelling as well as to celebrate the commonality of human experience within the diversity of community.

The writers participating in this month’s event are Bernard Beck, Isabel Braverman, Bizzy Coy, Mark Dunau, Jonathan Charles Fox, Ramona Jan, Kazzrie Jaxen, Judith Maidenbaum and Paola Tawa.
