Bio: Joan Eyolfson Cadham is an award winning freelance writer who turned to storytelling when she discovered a rich legacy of ancient Icelandic fairy tales and legends filled with the hidden folk (elves with attitude), giant trolls and a very genuine heroine who, in the early 1000s, walked across Europe to Rome to report on her visit to a new world. Joan lives and works in Foam Lake, SK, part of the area that Icelandic pioneers called Vatnabyggd.

It was a dark and stormy evening, after a tornado, when Norm Walker first saw the rural Saskatchewan light of Dominion Day in 1955. Since then, he has become a singer, a musician, songwriter, electrician, technical instructor and, most importantly, a "story-singer". He released a music cd in 2002 called "T" Time - Time Tested Tales, Tall and True which is mostly a collection of story-oriented songs, many of which are based on urban legends and folk tales. Since that time he has performed from coast to coast and been featured on national and local radio. Penguin Eggs magazine describes him as a "songwriter somewhat in the tradition of a Canadian Tom Lehrer’. If you can’t at least smile at some of these story-songs, there’s probably something wrong with your face. Norm is also one of the main organizers of storytelling activities in the Regina area.
