Third annual Tall Tales Contest
On August 30, the Cranbrook First Toastmasters hosted the third annual Tall Tales Contest.
In the blustery weather at the gazebo at the Grouse Mountain campground in Yahk, four contestants went head-to-head telling their tallest tales.
Witches reigned supreme in Kathy’s tale of growing up in Nova Scotia. Garbage Goop stole the campers and the day in David’s story of how he saved the world from the garbage slime that is at the bottom of the garbage bag. Roberta’s ghost tried to change how parliament does its job until someone said there are not such things as ghosts. Amanda weaved a tale of intrigued about how she landed an airplane filled with air cadets when surprisingly both pilots passed out.
Amanda’s story took the day and the first prize. Congratulations, Amanda Bott.
The day was rounded out with a potluck lunch that boasted a savory cold smoked chicken breast and the best fudge on the planet. You should have been there. Well, maybe next year. Start formulating your story now so you are ready for the fourth Annual Tall Tales contest hosted by Toastmasters in the area.
