"The Frogtown Storytelling Guild looks forward entertaining the audience with our tales in Tellabration!," Glenda Garrison, producer of Tellabration! states. "The fact that each member has a different type of story they like to tell gives an interesting variety  to our concerts. The stories in this year's Tellabration! will be intriguing, funny, thought-provoking, and some have unexpected twists." Frogtown Storytelling Guild members are Marion Hallauer, Glenda Garrison, Tari Miller, Regina Patrick, Odessa Rowan, Ken Solo, Sandy Schwieterman, and Ken Wielfaert.

The Frogtown Storytelling Guild is a member of the National Storytelling Network (Kansas City, MO), the vision of which is to have all people value the power of storytelling and its ability to connect, inspire, and instill respect. As a member of the National Storytelling Network, each year in November, the Frogtown Storytelling Guild hosts a Tellabration! storytelling concert.

Professional storyteller Jackson Gershom Pinkerton (1926–2008) of Stamford, CT was the originator of Tellabration!. He envisioned the event as a way of fostering and maintaining the art of storytelling. In 1988, he organized the first Tellabration! concerts at six locations in the state of Connecticut. It was such a success that the Tellabration! concerts spread to other states in following year. In 1990, Tellabration! became a national event with the help of the National Storytelling Association. Its popularity continues to spread and now thousands of storytelling groups (including Frogtown Storytelling Guild) host Tellabration! concerts worldwide.
