This year's Keynote Presentation will be given by Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk. Telling finger fables, faerie tales, and the lore of the Hudson River he’s appeared at hundreds of venues every year since 1989. Selected "Best Storyteller in the Hudson Valley," Jonathan’s been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, The National Geographic Channel, and the O’Reilly Factor - and we are thrilled to welcome him! His Keynote, titled Touching Tales of Historic Spirit - Sensing Heritage Through Interactive Storytelling, and Sensory Journeys, demonstrates how to draw out the drama evident at historic sites with well-told tales. Jonathan re-creates Hudson River information and history as stimulating adventures. Look to be enchanted and educated with ways to better tell your site's story.
