On Thursday, May 7, 2026, beginning at 2:00 p.m., in the garden of the Ximenez-Fatio House, Romanza Festivale presents two Florida storytellers, David Fussell and Kathy Kniery, who share their Florida stories.

The Storytellers

Both Kathy Kniery and David Fussell recently received the Ambassador of Storytelling Award from the Florida Storytelling Association. Kniery is a storyteller and folklorist and relates stories about people in history, devils and demons, and characters that make you smile. Fussell is a fifth-generation Florida Cracker, known for his poignant and humorous tales about Florida and the people who were born and raised here.

Each shares stories in several genres: Florida history, folktales, and personal stories of things they did or witnessed.
