Amid the modern cacophony of video games, personal music devices, and mindless programs on television, old-fashioned storytelling can seem like a lost art.
But just in time for the holidays, Spellbinders of Mesa County rides to the rescue. An article by Holli Dawn Means in the October 2010 issue of Grand Valley Magazine spotlights this dedicated group of volunteers who keep the oral storytelling tradition alive by telling stories to elementary school students throughout the Grand Valley.
Spellbinders has put some of its finest tales on an audio CD that makes a great Christmas gift for young children or grandchildren. Kids whose imaginations are captured by the vividly told stories will listen to them over and over. Do them a favor and tuck the Spellbinders CD into their Christmas stockings this year. It makes the drive over the hill to Denver much shorter...for the kids and the driver!
The CD is available for purchase in Grand Junction at Enstrom’s Candies, 701 Colorado Ave.; Toys for the Fun of It, 519 Main St.; and The Frame Depot, 529 Bogart Lane.
