Trundlebed Tales Looking for Your Laura Related Stories for February 7th

Sarah Uthoff, host of Trundlebed Tales on Blog Talk Radio, is once again celebrating the birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder on February 7th. She is looking for your Laura related stories. Please see her note below:


"Welcome to our fourth annual on air birthday celebration for author and pioneer Laura Ingalls Wilder. We started out with informational episodes, one year sharing the history of Laura's birthday in particular and one about the history of 19th century birthdays, but last year we tried a different format. Laura fans were invited to call in and share either the story of how they became a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan or their favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder related experience. I was very pleased with the response last year and so we're going to try it again. Please consider calling in and sharing your story and if you missed it in 2014, start working on your story for 2013. If you want to share your story, but don't want to talk on air, you can send a story to me ahead of time or in the chatroom live during the show. Live callers or chat get time before sent in stories."

Visit the link below for more details on time and the number to call in.
