Nicholas Pawlowski M. Ed. founded The Story Table Foundation to promote mental and emotional wellbeing through interactive storytelling! Nicholas believes that children learn best when we talk with rather than at them. Consequently, his use of improvisation, drawing and dancing help foster healthy childhood development, as well as teach values like empathy, thankfulness, kindness and cooperation.
Over the years, Nicholas has observed that children's programs are better when they're intergenerational. Nicholas strives to present timeless tales that people of all ages can grow up with rather than out of! The contributions of our elders and extended family members are always welcome!

Saturday Morning Stories is a joint project of Story Arts of Minnesota and Badger Hill Brewing. On the second Saturday of each month, at 10am, Badger Hill Brewing (2805 Winners Circle Drive, Shakopee, MN) joyfully opens its doors to children and adults who love a good story. With no cover charge and free treats for the youngsters, the rotating cast of professional storytellers present a lively mix of tales told in the traditional way with audience participation and a craft activity afterwards. The brewery offers a full menu of coffee and tea drinks in addition to its popular beers for adults to enjoy as they listen.
