Join the Cos Cob Library for a captivating morning of “American Idol” meets “Finding Your Roots,” on Saturday, Feb. 8 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ‘Genealogy Story Slam’ is a Genealogy storytelling competition in front of a live audience, for fun and prizes. No costumes, no visual aids, or special effects – just authentic tales of family history.
Each storyteller will have five to ten minutes to tell a personal Genealogy-related story. The stories must be told and not read, no notes and props. There will be a maximum of 12 contestants, who can sign up in advance by writing to info@connecticutancestry.org, or, if there are still places available, at the Cos Cob Library on the day of the event. Judges will be chosen from the audience.
The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Co-sponsored by the Connecticut Ancestry Society and The Friends of the Cos Cob Library.
