Stepping Out means many things, such as going away for a short time to mix, mingle, or
socialize. Then again, it could mean walking the plank, trying something different, or
going out on a limb to share a new story. Of course, you want a good pair of walking
shoes to go the distance! Each of our tellers has a story or two about venturing into
unchartered territory. Chuck Taylors are highly recommended for this night of fun,
fraternizing, and good vibes!
Registration for the live zoom show is free!

About the tellers:
Chetter Galloway
Chetter Galloway grew up hearing his father tell stories on road trips. One of his favorite
stories was The Talking Skull, a West African cautionary tale where a man loses his head!
From coast to coast and parts unknown, he shares everything from folktales to personal
stories and more. He loves putting his own special touch on stories or what he calls
“Chetterizing” them. Chetter is also an avid runner who enjoys creating stories while
running!

Anne Rutherford
Five-time champion of the the Northwest Folklife Liars’ contest, Anne’s tales ring true
even when they’re full of malarkey. She’s developed a wide-ranging, award-winning story
repertoire over her 25 years of recording and performing, including tales from her Wild-
West alter-ego Clementine Ryder — who usually steals the show. Anne’s telling bubbles
with humor, heart and a desire to connect and share meaning with her audience. “Without
you,” Anne says, “I’m talking to myself!”
