The Devil and Tom Walker
What’s not to love about a tale involving Captain Kidd, treasure, and a bargain with the devil himself?  Join us for a special performance based on Washington Irving’s spooky short story “The Devil and Tom Walker”.  Musician and fabulous storyteller Jim Keyes brings this eerie tale to life – complete with costume and musical accompaniment.  Note:  If the weather is nice, this performance will be outdoors.  Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit around the fire pit – no chairs will be provided.  In case of rain, the event will move indoors.  Dress for the weather.
