STEPHENVILLE — The Texas Folklore Society, a partner of Tarleton State University, will present a virtual workshop introducing the William G. Pomeroy Foundation’s Legends and Lore Marker Grant Program, which helps communities across the country share local stories, customs and traditions.
The hour-long Zoom workshop begins at noon Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Facilitators include TFS Executive Director Kristina Downs and Emma MacDowell, historian and engagement associate with the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. The two will provide an in-depth look into the Legends and Lore program, why it matters and how fully-funded roadside markers can amplify awareness about a community’s unique cultural heritage.
Whether the subject is a folktale, a local legend or a long-standing community tradition, this session will explain the process of preparing and submitting a strong marker grant application. A Q&A will follow to answer questions and provide a road map to get started.
