Storytelling Arts Center of the Southeast declared Wallace Shealy the Southeast Bold-Faced Liar Champion

With a twinkle in his eye Shealy said, “of course I embellished the truth slightly.”  The Mountain Xpress said in their opinion “Shealy exaggerates more than slightly.” The Tribune revealed that this upstanding local had been caught lying. It doesn’t matter if he is recalling a tale from his childhood, telling a story based on the Good Book or spinning a yarn you will be delighted listening to him stretch the truth all out of proportion.

Shealy was the most original creative liar of the day.

Wallace, I still am never sure when you're lying and when you're telling a true story!  If you made up those characters, you sure brought them to life.  I really want to taste one of those fruit cakes....but not with the sprinkling on top.  And what a fine job producing the show.  Seamless and professional.
