Your audiences were totally enthralled.”
Connie Trama, Storyteller Coordinator,
Cracker Storytelling Festival, 2002
“To Whom It May Concern:
Katie Adams was a featured teller at our 14th Annual Cracker Storytelling
Festival last October, 2002. She performed Cracker Cinderella. This is
a wonderful forty minutes of storytelling, puppetry, history and fairy
tale. Katie set up on the stage in the old school at Homeland Heritage
Park and had standing room only audiences. She has performed Johnny Appleseed
at my library and this show also would be well received by festival participants.
Katie is such a professional and her style appeals to both the young and
young at heart. She will be a welcome addition to your festival.”
Jeannine McCarter, Festival Director for the
Cracker Storytelling Festival

“Thank you for giving such
a wonderful presentation at the Wakulla County Public Library. Patrons
of all ages loved your professional storytelling and lively stories. Parents
are still talking about how much their children loved your program, many
of whom said their children had set up their own puppet stages at home.
Your program not only entertained it also inspired the children to use
their own imaginations! We sincerely hope we can book your program again
next year!”
Anna McLain, Youth Services Coordinator,

About the storytelling
programs:
“Thank you for coming to Elsie Quirk Library
to present Animal Safari Stories. Once again, your storytelling skills
amazed the children! The kids, parents, camp leaders, and librarians enjoyed
the show very much. The children especially enjoyed participating with
special "movements" and "safari sounds". We look foward
to having you back again.”
Toni Hopper, Youth Services,
Elsie Quirk Libraryl, 2003
“It is a treat to listen and
watch Katie tell. As a visual teller her graceful fluid mannerisms are
as much a part of her stories as the words. She has a wonderful repertoire
of participatory stories and she tells them with such pizazz.”
Connie Trama, Storyteller Coordinator,
Cracker Storytelling Festival, 2000

talked about her for days. They came to get folk tale books in the library.”
