| The 
              premiere presentation of our new storytelling program, GRANDMA GATEWOOD: 
              OHIO'S LEGENDARY HIKER took place on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 
              11:00 A.M. at the Westlake 
              Community Services Center to a sold out audience who enjoyed 
              hearing about Emma's life. Buckeye Trail Association members Patrick 
              and Mary Hayes were present and e-mailed back to say they enjoyed 
              the presentation and sent the picture above of Peter Huston (videographer), 
              Bette Lou Higgins (storyteller), and Patrick Hayes. This program 
              was paid for by a generous grant from the National 
              Storytelling Network. Additional research and planning was funded 
              by the Buckeye 
              Trail Association and the Ohio 
              Humanities Council. To arrange for a performance for your group, 
              contact Eden Valley directly. Since 
              that first presentation, the program has been presented more than 
              two dozen times to more than 1,200 people! (as of March, 2016).
