Vermont’s Grand Ghosts & Weird Wonders
a talk by Joseph A. Citro Saturday, October 28, 1:30 PM
Jericho Community Center 329 Browns Trace Jericho, VT 05465 Vermont is more than dairy farms, maple syrup, green trees, and white church steeples. It’s also ghosts, vampires, and all manner of menacing things that go bump in the night. For over thirty years Joseph Citro has been collecting and chronicling Vermont’s “alternate history” -- our tales from the Dark Side. For this event he’ll share a few of his favorites: some you may already know; some may surprise you. And a couple might be too close for comfort!

Join us for a pre-Hallowe’en sampler of delightful local oddities.
Please bring a spooky tale to tell or an unsettling experience to share
A Q&A session will follow the presentation and a selection of Joseph Citro’s books will be available for purchase.

“The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont”
A presentation by Professor John Crock, University of Vermont
A presentation by Professor John Crock, University of Vermont
Thursday, June 22, 7 – 8 PM
Deborah Rawson Memorial Library 8 River Rd Jericho, VT 05465 In 1849 railroad construction workers in Charlotte were amazed to unearth a complete skeleton of a whale. The science of geology and the Earth's history was in its infancy at the time, and the indisputable evidence of a sea-going mammal hundreds of miles from the Atlantic coast confirmed that many geological changes had taken place. Although sometimes referred to tongue-in-cheek as the "West Coast of New England" it really was salt water at one time. Please join Prof. John Crock for “The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont” to explore this fascinating subject.
