Take a break from your holiday preparations for this relaxing program in front of a fire at Rye Nature Center. For millennia, humans of many cultures pass away the longest night of the year huddled for warmth and listening to traditional folk tales. Rye Nature Center revives this tradition for families and individuals of all ages. If weather allows, follow the luminaries to our outdoor fire circle or gather in front of the fire place in our great room. Warm up with hot cider, cocoa, tea and coffee and enjoy some home-baked goodies. Take a brief, brisk night hike to see how our animals are faring in the cold weather.
Story Teller (and Nature Center Director) Russ Johnson will continue with original tales from his "Rainbow Dragon" story cycle and other traditional tales of winter from cultures around the globe.
The fee for this program is $10 per person, $25 per family. The event will be held rain or shine. Pre-registration is not required. This event is suitable for all ages.
