Ridgefield Historical Society To Celebrate Storytelling At 'Tellabration 2025'

Celebrate the art of storytelling at this year’s Tellabration from 2 to 3pm on Saturday, November 15, at the Ridgefield Historical Society’s Scott House at 4 Sunset Lane. Originally founded in 1988 by PawPaw Pinkerton in Connecticut, 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 Ridgefield Story." Our storytellers will share true, four-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: Ira Joe Fisher, Poet Laureate; Andrea Beebe, Dr. Blaine Langberg, Tammy Strom, Mike Jaykus, Jim Ward, Fran Head, Wendy Lionetti, Antoinette Brennan, Mary McDonald Conroy, and Ronnie Viggiano with a special tribute.
