Gleaning Facebook: Tellabration 2018

From the event page on Facebook:

Welcome to Northwest Georgia’s TELLABRATION!™, a night of storytelling celebrated here and world-wide on or about the third Saturday in November.
Guilds and storytelling enthusiasts all around the globe will share their storytelling talents in concerts held in cities and towns to celebrate the art of storytelling. TELLABRATION!™ brings together some of each area’s storytellers, to delight, captivate, and mesmerize audiences with their stories. It creates a network of storytelling enthusiasts bonded together in spirit at the same time and on the same weekend.
These five civic leaders of Rome are well-known for their storytelling -- in their chosen fields more than in “
storytelling” per se: Bill Davies, Baptist pastor; Clementine Slack counselor and college professor; Ray Atkins, award-winning novelist; Nanci McNeil Hicks, Methosdist pastor; and Severo Avila, columnist and reporter. 
No admission, but please bring a potluck dish to share. We will eat at 7 and begin the stories at about 7:30.
