Rita Clarke faced tough competition to win the 2019 Lancaster Story Slam GRAND SLAM with her story about the changes we can affect on others. Rita won the coveted trophy and has earned the title of “Best Storyteller in Lancaster” for 2019.

The theme for the night was “Changes,” and our storytellers did not disappoint. We heard a solid mix of humorous and thought-provoking stories. Beth Horenkamp’s story demonstrated that as a mommy you learn to roll with the changes. We cringed along with Terri Shadle as she told the harrowing tale of having an infected earring removed. And Jeff Howe told the story of Sally and her bowling ball. 

Thanks to all our storytellers, our judges, and everyone who came out to the sold out Grand Slam!
