Fun in Floyd!

📢 THIS WEEK AT THE JUNE BUG CENTER

Monster's and Moonshine! Saturday at 6:00pm

Grab a drink, take a seat, and tell a tale.

Monsters and Moonshine is an Appalachian storytelling competition benefiting Mountain Valor, a veteran-led nonprofit serving veterans and their families across rural Southwest Virginia.

Storytellers take the stage for a 7 minute story pulled from true tales, strange creatures, and local legends. The winner is decided entirely by audience vote. Every ticket includes one vote, with additional votes available for $5 each. Cash prizes go to the top three storytellers of the night: $250 for first, $100 for second, $50 for third.

Dr. Cory Higgs of Virginia Tech Appalachian Studies opens the evening with a talk on Appalachian cryptids and why we tell monster stories in the first place.

Charcuterie is included with your ticket. Moonshine and other drinks, including nonalcoholic options, are available at the cash bar. Bid on silent auction items, enter raffles, and check out the Sponsor a Monster roster, life sized cutouts of Appalachian legends sponsored by local businesses.

All proceeds benefit Mountain Valor's work empowering veterans and their families across rural Virginia.
