105th Annual Meeting a 'smashing success'
From the first session on Friday morning, March 29, to the last session on Saturday morning, March 30, those in attendance heard presentations ranging from a treatise on the folkloric values of family letters, examples of poems as “little pockets of folklore,” papers exploring the paradoxes and challenges of preserving cultural heritage, musical and storytelling tributes to TFS co-founder John Lomax and past president Américo Paredes, illustrations of historical costumed interpretation in theory and in practice, explanations of development and vision of places like La Bahia and the Alamo, visual representations of folk art and architecture, and an examination of the thematic interplay between cowboy folklore and Star Wars. Of special interest was the session provided by “New Voices: The Next Generation,” featuring offerings from two students and a recent university graduate exploring cultural, campus, and family folklore.
