In the fall of 2015, Riley Worth brought the first Story Show to Albert Lea, MN. Since then we’ve been producing about two shows a year with the profits from each show going to a different local charitable organization. Each show features at least eight writers with local ties, each sharing a story on a common theme, a theme tied to the show’s dedicated charity. The stories of this community should be shared and passed on. We encourage you to take part in this process of historical preservation and storytelling. Consider writing and sharing a piece for a future Story Show. We all have a story to tell. What’s yours?

Story Show veteran Jen Vogt-Erickson returns to the show with a story about multiple generations of her family. Many of Jen’s ancestors came to the US during the latter half of the 19th century and settled on land in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory due to the Homestead Act of 1862. These are the people she thought of when she first heard the theme “Blaze Your Trail.” At the time she was also reading a book on climate change called The Parrot and the Igloo and noticed how it intersected with this period and her family’s history in the U.S.
