Calling All District 99 Toastmasters!

The Sherwood Park Tall Tales Contest is coming up fast on Wednesday, November 26th at 7 PM, and we’re still looking for brave, bold, and brilliantly imaginative contestants!

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I should try a contest one day…” — this is the one. Tall Tales are playful, creative, and wonderfully over-the-top. No need for perfect precision… just jump in and have fun with it!

Why compete?

Because you’ll:

- Stretch your creativity in ways normal speeches don’t allow
- Strengthen your storytelling skills — one of the most powerful tools a speaker can have
- Build confidence speaking outside your comfort zone
- Get huge support (and laughs!) from a warm, friendly room
- Add a contest experience to your Toastmasters journey
- Bond with your fellow toastmasters in a really memorable way
- Have an opportunity to have your speech evaluated for Pathways credit
- Compete for a trophy to hold for one year confirming your accomplishment
- Potentially win the $50 cash prize

You don’t need experience. You don’t need a polished script. You just need to be a member of a District 99 Toastmasters club with a spark of imagination and a willingness to have some fun.

If you’re even *a tiny bit curious*, reach out — we’d love to have you on the contestant roster!

Let’s make this Tall Tales Contest one for the books!
