Irish Storyteller tells his tale in La Conner

Irish storyteller Will Hornyak celebrated both St. Patrick's Day and Women's History Month, spinning women-centered sagas of old time Ireland. His long, true story of Grace O'Malley, the pirate queen of County Mayo, kept an appreciative audience of some 50 listeners in rapt attention at the Tim Bruce Performing Arts Center March 14. Also performing were Celtic musicians Jan Peters and Dale Russ. The evening was organized by the Skagit River Poetry Foundation.
