TELLABRATION IS COMING: NEVER TOO EARLY TO PLAN

The month of November may seem far, far away but it is not and will be here sooner than we may think. "Tellabration" is that wonderful time when stories fill the air and dance in the imagination like falling leaves. Normally an evening of adult stories for adult listeners, some venues plan family events, and others plan mixed music and story events.

The day is Nov. 20, 2010, however events occurr, "in the spirit of" storytelling all week long.

Already plans are in place for events in Choctaw, Locust Grove, and many others still in the planning stages.

Locations range from libraries, to homes, to bookstores, to clubs, and museums. Anywhere people might be gathered to hear and delight in the ancient and ever new oral art of storytelling.
