What's your Boyle County story?
The Story Center is all about telling the story of Boyle County — where we've been, where we are now, and where we're headed.

We'd love to hear yours! Stories should run somewhere between 500 and 1,000 words. Feel free to add photos to go along with it.
 
Prompt-based inspiration

You don't have to face a blank page alone. We provide a variety of discussion prompts and inspiration statements to help spark your memory and get the words flowing.

Story prompts to consider:
• How did you or your family get to Boyle County?
• When did you feel like a Boyle Countian?
• What would you miss if you left Boyle County?
• How would you describe Boyle County to someone who has never visited?
• What do you see for Boyle County's future?

Collaborative refinement
Our team provides hands-on guidance to help you focus your narrative. For example, if you have seventy years of memories about your family farm, we can help you determine which specific anecdotes to highlight and assist in condensing them into a succinct, powerful story.
