Tellabration is the International Day of Storytelling and it is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving! So next Saturday...- I KNOW! Thanksgiving is just around the corner!! How did this happen? -
Anyway, next Saturday, here in the Lehigh Valley there will be THREE - not one, not two but THREE - Tellabration events.
Event one:
The best one in my humble opinion - because, ahem, I will be telling with Tom Egan, - is at the Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity (yep, that's the official name) at 11 am. Expect family fun, kid and parent friendly stories and maybe even an accordion song or two.
Event two:
Ok. This event might be the best one. It's at the Monroe Campus of NCC and it happens at 2:30 pm. And Larry Sceurman and Tina Fowler will be teeling stories there. Oh man! You have to hear those stories.
Event three:
I can't decide. These tellers are awesome. Chaz Kiernan and Ingrid Bohn will tell stories at the South Side campus of NCC at 3 pm.

| Good old Chaz. I wonder who he will channel on Saturday. |
So, join with millions of other story lovers and come to a Tellabration event.
Tellabration is coming! Saturday is the International Day of Storytelling! All across the world people will gather to listen to stories.
Here in the Lehigh Valley, the
Lehigh Valley Storytelling Guild will present
four FREE performances at
two separate venues.
At
Barnes & Noble Booksellers in the Lehigh Valley Mall, Tellabration will start off with a performance by
Kathy Long at 10:30 am. Kathy is a teller from the Slate Belt, well loved for her humor and her original spin on traditional stories. This program is open to children and families. The program is co-sponsored by the
Parkland Community Library.
Across the Valley at the
Nazareth Center for the Arts at 30 Belvidere Street in Nazareth PA, stories begin at 3 pm
Tina Fowler , a local teller with wit and wisdom, will tell stories for children of all ages at 3 pm. Please bring a canned food donation for the Nazareth Food Bank.
Both venues will host evening performances.
Robin Berry , an inspirational teller and young teller,
Kelly Fitzpatrick, will tell stories for adults and teens at Barnes and Noble in the Lehigh Valley Mall, starting at 7 pm. This program is also co-sponsored by the Parkland Community Library.
Eva Grayzel, has touched audiences across the country. She will be the featured teller at a 7:30 pm performance at the Nazareth Center of the Arts. This performance is designed for adults and teens.
Join the worldwide movement to share stories at one of these fine, free to all, performances this Saturday.
This sounds incredible!
I'd loved to hear you tell a story (and play the accordion). That would be so much fun!
