Shorewood Tales

Over the course of Shorewood’s Centennial Celebration (from summer of 2026 through summer 2027), we are planning to gather our community at one (or more) live storytelling events where Shorewood neighbors will share their personal stories inspired by the general theme, “Why Shorewood Occupies such a Special Place in our Family’s History”. We are intending to draw on storytelling’s powerful capacity to build a sense of community as an opportunity to bring us together in interesting, fun and meaningful ways during this hundred-year celebration.

We are looking to hold the first live storytelling event, Shorewood Tales, near the end of July or early August, most probably in the newly renovated Playground.

We are conducting a series of storytelling workshops to help neighbors identify whether they have a personal/family story about Shorewood that they would like to tell and to prepare them to tell that story, a story that only they can tell.
