You all have done an amazing job. Madison County, Florida, Tellabration was terrific!

Great event!

Thank you for making it happen.

My hat is off to each of the gifted storytellers!

It was an absolutely wonderful day and I'm still remembering the stories. Thank you for carrying on the tradition!

There was so much talent on display!

What a great setting for a truly memorable day of storytelling. Unforgettable.

Wow! No wonder we heard so many amazing reports!

Joe is incredible and the Colin Kelly story is special to him. Thanks, Wanda!

Congratulations!

We heard that Joe Bowles gave a great story on Capt. Colin P. Kelly. Congratulations on a very successful event.

Some made me laugh, some made me cry...

“This was such a fun event! Loved all the storytellers. Some made me laugh, some made me cry. What a great way to spend an afternoon. Looking forward to more events like this.”

Wonderful!

“Wonderful! We hope this will become an annual event as we are already looking forward to next year!”

Next time I must remember the tissues

"What a wonderful afternoon at the Tellabration! Wonderful job Wanda Violet, Jim, and Story Tellers. Next time I must remember the tissues, as I was moved to tears. Thank you for this great event."

Life at its best!

Wanda Violet organized the FIRST Tellabration in Madison, Florida, held this afternoon, and it was outstanding! Great location, marvelous tellers, super audience, and food!! What more could you want? Life at its best.

The Old Lady and the Purple Dragon

I particularly enjoyed Mattie Ann Barnes and Abby Ratliff, both young local ladies who are beginners but who already “get” this storytelling business.

What a treat!

Loved the whole experience... the storytellers that kept us on the edges of our seats, the beautiful herb farm... hope we can do it again soon!
