This summer New Story took matters into its own hands and invited people who are behind innovative and extraordinary things happening across the state, to come together for a festival of workshops, DIY placemaking, communication, tech, entrepreneurship, organizing, and dreaming. We were part of this conversation, to talk about how we're creating, making, and doing in Elk City WV. // We're stoked to have Megan Bullock join the New Story Conference 2018 team with @thewvhub to dream up next years gathering of minds and ideas around Appalachia ! 😁 Keep your 👀open for big things happening 💫💫💫 #makers #dreamers #builders
