Start your Enchanted Midway adventure in the courtyard with professional story-teller Debra Kumar who will kick off the festivities with stories and folklore of the fairy kind.
Time: 11 am in the courtyard downtown Midway.
Storyteller, Debra Kumar, grew up in a small railroad town in Grafton, West Virginia.
During her childhood all the children slept in one room together. Debra was the eldest of the children and recounts that “my three brothers would not let me go to sleep unless I told them a story”. As turned out, this early experience would ultimately lead to Debra becoming a professional storyteller.
After becoming a fairy, Debra was given her wings and the name "Pym". She is a twilight fairy, past fairy godmother, and fairy princess of course, and representative of the High Fey Court of Appalachia.
Debra is a board member of the Kentucky Storytelling Association of which she is a past president and current president-elect.
