9:15pm – 10pm (45 minutes)
What does fringe mean? It’s on the edge of our festival in a late night slot. We do not curate or censor. (But there are some rules.) Three tellers chosen at random to give a 45-minute storytelling performance. All three fringe performances happen at the same time.
Congratulations to …
Alexander Room
Walt Belcher
Bone Mizell: Florida’s Most Notorious Cowboy
Stories about the life, adventures, and times of Morgan Bonaparte “Bone” Mizell. He herded Florida cattle in the 1800s and could outride, outshoot, outdrink, and outlie anyone.
Grandview Room
Eric “Tellemtall” Hoeppner
That’s as true as it gets
Tellemtall weaves erratically through the minds of a 7th-grade science teacher, a lost pirate, a kid growing up in 1960s Florida, a handyman MacGyver-ing his way through life.
Donnelly Room
Sandra Measels
She Called Him Mister; But She Did Not Mean It; The story of Annie McDonald Jacksonville
Wife, sister, mother- a complicated woman with strong opinions and a stronger spirit. She drove a Model T and used her egg money to buy oysters for breakfast. She lived with her husband for 47 years and called him Mr. Tom…but never once meant it.
