Nerves, raconteurs and no soapboxes: What makes a good story

From a conversation in the belly of Pinky G’s Pizzeria to packed audiences across town, the Cabin Fever Story Slam has become a Jackson Hole institution. That’s thanks to the careful work of Leah Shlachter, the Teton County Library’s Adult Program Coordinator, and emcee Jeff Moran. Even approaching 70 events, it can still be nerve wracking to the hosts and regulars (that’s the excuse from co-host Frederick Reimers for his on-stage absenteeism). But regardless of experience, the pair encourages Jacksonites to find their voice and walk the tightrope. https://www.facebook.com/frederick.reimers.5https://www.instagram.com/writereimers/
