P.O.E.M
Q:What is P.O.E.M?
A:POEM stands for Partners Organized for Education, Enrichment and Entertainment in Mokena. We sponsor a spelling bee, chess nights, and an annual storytelling night, featuring Mokena's (and POEM's) very own, Tom Nolan.

Q:What made you think of having a storytelling festival?
A:Tom brought along another storyteller in 2002, Gene Gryniewicz, and figured, why stop there, let's have a whole day of storytelling, and let's add some folk music, too. We had such great events in 2002 and 2004, we are having a lot of the performers back for '05!

Q:What is a StoryFolk?
A:We are presenting STORYtellers, and FOLK musicians, hence the name STORY-FOLK !
