Market to host storytelling for children &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A storytelling workshop and the works of primitive artist Anna Smith will
be featured at ``Children's Day'' at the Farmer's Market in Wilkes-Barre on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ThursdayThe event is being presented by the Cultural Council of Luzerne
County (CCLC). The storytelling will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Public
Square next to the CCLC table. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Smith painted scenes of growing up in Wilkes-Barre during the 1920s, '30s
and '40s. Nora Walsh, a local storyteller and art historian, will use those
images to teach local history, such as growing up in the Wyoming Valley during
the Depression, riding a roller coaster at Sans Souci Park and taking trains
to visit friends in other parts of the valley. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Like many primitive or self-taught artists, Smith's paintings tell the
stories of her childhood. She wrote comments on the back of each painting
which not only tell of her life, but give us a sense of local history," said
Walsh. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In 1995, Smith donated a collection of her paintings to the Cultural
Council and they immediately caught the eye of Walsh, who is an active
volunteer with the council. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Walsh, who was born in this area, received her bachelor's degree in
painting and anthropology from American University and a masters in art
history from San Francisco State University. For over 20 years she worked as a
teacher in private schools in the San Francisco. She returned to Northeastern
Pennsylvania in the 1980s and resides at Harveys Lake. She serves as assistant
editor of Impressions, the Council's newsletter. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The public is invited to join the kids for the story telling on Thursday.
The program will be part of the arts outreach program of the CCLC. For
