RYE—
Families can get together for a hauntingly good time at the Seacoast Science Center on Thursday, October 27 at 5:30 p.m. The evening will kick off with a family-style dinner. Children will then Trick-or-Treat around the darkened Center, using bags they have decorated.
Then, two different age-appropriate activities will be offered. Young children can enjoy supervised seasonal stories and games at the Center. Older children (appropriate for ages 8 and up) can walk to the Odiorne Family graveyard with their parents, where Roxie Zwicker awaits. She will tell us about the hidden-away graveyard: the oldest in New Hampshire! She will regale us with local legends—suitable for the season and the family. Be among the first to hear the specially prepared tales Roxie will tell based on research about the graveyard and legends of Odiorne and our coast.
This is the first of the Center’s Heritage Dinner Series to be planned just for families. Costumes are encouraged, but remember to dress for the weather and the walk! Some flashlights will be available, but best to bring your own. This is a rain or shine event: it may be entirely inside if necessary.
As founder of New England Curiosities, Roxie has been sharing her stories of New England legends and lore since 1993. She has captivated national audiences in person, as well as on television and radio. She will be autographing her books (available in the Nature Store) this evening.
The cost for evening is $10/adult, $5/child for members; $15/adult, $6/child for non-members and includes beverages and family fare. Please send checks made payable to Seacoast Science Center, 570 Ocean Blvd., Rye, NH 03870 or contact Nichole at 603-436-8043, ext. 26 or n.rutherford@seacentr.org to sign up.
