How To Lie Like A Southerner
Primary Content
Call it a fib, a fiction, a white lie, or a fish story. Storytelling has long been part of Southern culture, and sometimes that means telling stories. Tomorrow kicks off the Second Annual Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival in Rome, Georgia. Fourteen fibbers from around the state will perform a five minute tall tale with the hopes of being crowned the new Big Fibber Champion.
Tall tales and lies are part of a long tradition of Southern storytelling. Terrell Shaw, President of the Ridge and Valley Storytelling Guild, and four-time West Virginia Liar’s Contest champion Adam Booth about how you judge a good lie and judges a mini lying competition.
