The second presentation at the 76th annual Amos Fortune Forum 2023 summer speaker series will feature storyteller Andy Davis and is titled “The Sweater.” It will be in the Meetinghouse located in Jaffrey Center Friday, July 14, at 8 p.m.
Davis’s storytelling blends New Hampshire and North American history, Scottish folklore and personal narrative. His tales are equal parts multicultural folklore, magical realism, grassroots history and personal experience.
Davis got his start as a storyteller telling comic tales by candlelight in Mexican refugee camps 30 years ago. He has since performed for audiences from around the world. For 22 years he and his wife co-directed the World Fellowship Center, an educational family camp and retreat center in the White Mountains devoted to peace and social justice.
This summer, the forum is providing space and seating on the Meetinghouse Common for attendees who would like to arrive early and bring a picnic. This space will be set up on Friday evening by 6:30 pm.
All presentations are streamed live at facebook.com/amosfortuneforum, and program information is available at amosfortune.com.
