Storytelling Concert with Donald Davis and Bil Lepp. Bil is a six-time champion of the West Virginia Liar's Contest, and while his stories may not be completely true, they are always honest. Donald tells stories so personal, you’re sure to find yourself in every one of them—and a friend along the way. A "don't miss this one" performance presented in partnership with the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival Midwinter Conference. This event will be held at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center (1355 West 3100 South, West Valley City). No strollers or babes in arms, please.
