Our emcee is Kate Dudding. There will also be door prizes and refreshments to enjoy.

This is the 29th Tellabration! in the Capital Region. Please come celebrate with us. Each year in November, people gather at locations around the world to share stories at programs called Tellabration.

Proceeds from previous Tellabration programs have funded over 100 storytelling events at libraries, museums, and other locations in the Capital District.
