Event Details

For years this regional favorite has showcased the storytellers of the Pikes Peak region. This will be the first Story Project since 2019.  This project's theme presents stories from America's Mountain, Pikes Peak, and will feature three local storytellers who will regale the public with their tales of the mountain.  

Presenters include Larry Cesspooch (Utah local and traditional Ute Storyteller), as well as Pikes Peak region locals Kat Tudor and Andrew Rudin, with hosts Don Goede and Jeremiah Walter.

Larry Cesspooch grew up on the Unitah and Ouray Ute Reservation in Northeastern Utah, and uses film, music, and traditional artifacts to tell his stories.  Kat Tudor is the visionary behind SunWater Spa, SunMountain Center, and the Smokebrush Foundation for the Arts in Manitou Springs.  Andrew Rudin led outdoor trips for several years after moving to Colorado, worked with troubled youth, and is currently a handyman living in his homemade cabin outside of Cripple Creek.
