LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The city of Las Vegas is accepting story ideas from people who can tell true, personal stories about how documents, letters or records changed their lives for the “Paper Trail” StorySlam.
Organizers said they are looking for 10-minute stories about anything from love letters to eviction notices, faded receipts to legal contracts and the surprises, secrets or life changes those paper trails created.
