The Clarkston Tell Me a Story! Festival History
The festival grew out of the work of CDF Action, Inc., founded in 2010, to connect and engage the diverse residents of Clarkston to create activities and inform policies that benefit the community. Increasing the quality and access to culturally competent early care and learning was an important focus of the work.
The first Festival was funded by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant to CDF Action and the National Brimstone Applied Oral Storytelling Fund, awarded to Kuumba Storytellers of Georgia.
Fast forward a decade, the Festival is now celebrating its triumphant 10 year anniversary with the partnership and support of the City of Clarkston and the City’s Early Learning Task Force, facilitated by CDF Action.
