This Month's Features:
Tony Toledo
Having grown up (arguably) in Defiance, Ohio, Tony Toledo sneaked out under the Buckeye Fence late one spring evening to enter a life of adventure. He bicycled from Ohio to Massachusetts to visit cousins in 1984 and ate lobster for the first time.By the fall of 1987, Tony had made Massachusetts his home and had discovered storytelling.He dove into storytelling with both feet flapping and a heart full of passion. By studying with the best storytellers in New England, he soon learned not to flap his feet quite so much. He took a natural ability to spin a tale, added a bucketful of hope, and hung out his shingle in 1990. He's been telling stories full time ever since. Learn more at http://www.tonytoledo.com
