Listening Day
The McKinney Center and StoryTown will be hosting a second “evening edition” of Listening Day on Thursday, August 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Jonesborough Senior Center. This later time is ideal for people who work, go to school, or have other obligations during the day. Area residents are encouraged to come and share stories about growing up in the area, true paranormal encounters, stories about moving to the area, service stories from the Armed Forces, and holiday memories. Other stories are welcome, too. Everyone has a story to tell.
These stories may be used as source material for the monthly StoryTown Radio Show or for the annual community play. To schedule a time during Listening Day, call the McKinney Center at 423.753.0562 to reserve a thirty-minute time slot. You can also call the Senior Center at 423.753.4781 or stop by there in person. Groups and families are also welcome to come and share stories together. If you’re not available that day but would like to share a story, please contact the McKinney Center directly.
Listening Day will be held at the Senior Center, located at 307 East Main Street in Jonesborough. You do not need to be a member of the center to attend Listening Day.
