Cousins, As you may know, as a storyteller I work hard to preserve the Appalachian culture. As part of this I learned to make brooms...my Daddy made brooms at Berea in about 1941-42. I go into schools and tell stories and make brooms for the kids. Sometimes I make brooms at festivals too. I am trying to find someone in Clay County - or the area that might have some old tobacco sticks for sale. I found a guy with sticks from the Carolinas, but they tend to be flat. Does anybody know of any place or any one where I can get some for my brooms? I would be glad to pay for them.
