PORT ANGELES — Pat Ferris will speak at the Story People of Clallam County’s monthly Story Swap event at 7 tonight.
Ferris, a Port Angeles resident, will fill the spring evening with stories about ships, shipwrecks and fish at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., according to a press release.
Ferris grew up in Ohio listening to her father’s stories, and after becoming a librarian tried her voice at storytelling.
In retirement, she actively tells fairy tales and folk tales with a smattering of personal stories.
Recently, she won the Story Slam at Olympic Theater Arts in Sequim with a personal story about an encounter with a rapacious turkey vulture.
The program is geared toward adults and teens. Newcomers are always welcome to attend.
After a refreshment break, audience members can get up on stage and share a short story, typically a couple of minutes in length.
The story people host story swaps on the third Tuesday of the month, as well as other public events.
