Tellabration! Ridgefield history stories

Celebrate the art of storytelling at this year’s Tellabration from 2 to 3 pm on Saturday, Nov. 16, at the Ridgefield Historical Society’s Scott House at 4 Sunset Lane in Ridgefield. Originally founded in Connecticut in 1988 by PawPaw Pinkerton, Tellabration has grown into a global tradition, bringing people together through the power of shared stories.

This year, the Ridgefield Historical Society invites you to gather for an afternoon of local tales, centered around the theme “Your Part in Historical Ridgefield.” Our storytellers will share true, five-minute stories that connect to our town’s rich history, weaving together personal experiences and community memories.

The event will be held at the Ridgefield Historical Society’s Scott House, and promises to be a joyful celebration of friendship, humanity, and the enduring tradition of storytelling. The afternoon will be hosted by Dr. Darla Shaw who will serve as MC.

Featured storytellers will be: Deborah Ahle, Sandy Carpenter, Mack Reid, Sally Sanders, Stephen Maydan, Martha Talburt, Jean Jaykus, and Jake Knoche.

Due to limited parking at the Scott House, registration is required for this free event. Secure your spot by registering here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tellabration-your-part-in-historical-ridgefield-tickets-1061806284179
