For generations, the art of storytelling has served as the underpinning of history lessons. Salkehatchie Stew is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich tradition of storytelling in South Carolina.

Listeners will be enthralled by the common themes that tend to emerge in the storytelling of the Salkehatchie region, including the power of family, the importance of community, the ability to endure hardships and the need to help others in need.
Stories provide the foundation for a richer, more meaningful connection.

Salkehatchie Stew: Bamberg County's Brew, a celebration of Bamberg County's people and heritage through stories, is scheduled for March 19 and 20, 2010, in Bamberg and Denmark. The Brew includes entertaining storytelling for all ages featuring regional storytellers Millie Chaplin and Tom Cuny and headliner Donna Washington.

"Weathering the Storm" Salkehatchie Stew's 2010 play will be produced in Allendale, Denmark, Hampton, and Estill on weekends beginning April 16.
