"The Storytelling Capital of Texas" comes to life on the first Saturday in November when tellers of tall tales, folklore, history, fables and some downright lies gather around the Live Oak County Courthouse Square to spin their yarns. With live oak trees for canopies and hay bales for seats, thousands of listeners enjoy this time-honored tradition and performing art. SOS member, Pam McGrath, was a featured teller at the George West Annual 2000 Festival.
