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!
