Two storytelling events will be taking place in Chaffee County from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12, in Salida and again at the same time on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in Buena Vista.
The two evenings of storytelling kicks off the Storyteller Business Series put on by Colorado Small Business Development Center (SBDC, featuring host Anthony Poponi. The series is conducted to provide businesses a platform to share their stories with their peers and other community members. Topics such as surviving and thriving as a business in Chaffee County are most likely to be the center of discussion.
The SBDC commented on Poponi, “Anthony loves to make people laugh, and he finds the right balance of humor, insightfulness and wanton disregard for his own self-esteem when presenting or guiding guests through keynotes, trainings or workshops.”
They continued, “Keynotes and workshops coupling actionable content with a high-energy humorist with an onstage presence like few others. His content and delivery will have your group buzzing for weeks and inspired to enact change.”
The storytellers and information for both nights are as followed:
