Discover the history and customs of Halloween enchantments in this entertaining session full of spooky legends and lore.
Join author and Mystery Maven Roxie Zwicker for an enchanted evening in our Cottage performance space exploring the mysteries, traditions and magic of the Halloween season. October offers us many symbolic decorations, from nuts, pumpkins, scarecrows and cornstalks, but what does it all mean? The ghostly veil to the other world is at its thinnest at this time and the fields are bare, the leaves have fallen from the trees, as the skies are going gray and a chilling energy creeps through the air!
Roxie will share the many traditions of the spookiest season and guests will discover fascinating little known superstitions, folklore and stories. This engaging presentation features a large variety of vintage photos and ephemera to bring guests back in a virtual time machine of Halloween from ghostly Victorian gatherings through spooky traditions of the 1920s (many pieces from Roxie’s personal collection). Make your season more meaningful, with a look at Halloween curiosities during this spirited session.
After the presentation, guests can stop at our Trick or Treat station and fill their own little treat bags to take with them. Plus, take pictures in our photo op spots throughout the shop!
