NJ Audubon: Poe Readings Around the Campfire
Join us for a cozy evening of spooky tales around the campfire at New Jersey Audubon’s Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary. Listen to the haunting words of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem, “The Raven” and the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” as you roast marshmallows, drink hot chocolate, and enjoy the crisp autumn air. Don’t miss out on this unique storytelling experience under the stars! Dave Pasake, retired Elementary School teacher, will read selections from “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart,” classic works by Edgar Allan Poe. The Raven features a mysterious raven that repeats the word “nevermore”; “The Tell-Tale Heart” features a man with an eye like a vulture. Dave will discuss the American writer and poet, Edgar Allen Poe, as well as the Common Raven and the Turkey Vulture, birds that are found year-round in North America. This program is suitable for families, adults and children alike.
The readings will be outdoors around a fire pit. Hot chocolate will be served. Dress appropriately for the cooler night-time temperatures. The reading will take place indoors, in case of rain. Come enjoy the changing of the seasons.
