JACKSON, Wyo. — At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, the Teton County Library will host a Cabin Fever Story Slam at the Virginian Lodge with the theme Worth the Wait.

Storytellers who wish to compete will throw their names into a bucket upon arrival at the theater. If their names are chosen, they’re charged with telling true, personal, five-minute stories relating the theme.

A panel of judges will award prizes to their top three storytellers at the end of the evening.

No story to tell? Audience members can participate by contributing themed mad libs that emcee Jeff Moran will read aloud between stories.

Library programs are free and open to the community.
