BLAIRSVILLE, Ga.–Peach State Federal Credit Union is sponsoring the upcoming Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival (GMSF) at the Union County Schools Fine Arts Center.
GMSF provides opportunities for an underserved audience to engage with the voices of Appalachia through hearing stories and attending workshops that will enable them to develop a cultural intelligence through the arts of listening and speaking. Featured speakers will include Adam Booth, Claudia Schmidt, and Bobby Norfolk just to name a few.
“Peach State was founded by educators more than 55 years ago and sponsorships like this are an integral part of maintaining our connection to that foundation,” said Ryan Hawk, SVP of business development at Peach State. “We’re excited to support this important event and to help keep the tradition of storytelling alive.”
