[Nfb-krafters-korner] Dawn's Spooky Den (chat line#) alive thisThursday nite for Halloween story hour!

[AUDREY WELLNER]

Thank you Theresa, 
   Being a costumer I just love the Halloween season. It can be so creative!  I really don't care for the new genre of blood, gore and violence. There's really no need for that.and certainly no thought behind it. 
   Here in Connecticut it's sad to see the many once used farm fields standing vacant, not being tilled or cleared in the fall anymore. One of the local farmers and I were chatting one day about his grandchildren wanting to start one of those bloody haunted hayrides and how much he was against it. So I said to him had he suggested they just walk people through his already established corn maze in the dark in silence, then disappear and let the people honestly hear the sounds of the night and find their way out. Well they took up part of the suggestion and it turned out to be one of the scariest corn mazes in these parts. 
   I live in a rather remote (but rural populated) sections of CT and years back when I could walk my dog we used to walk late at night before going to bed (working so many hours--it was the only time I had to walk him)  Chrissy was a big German Shepard that I rescued from freezing to death on the side of the road and when we walked together people would move to the other side of the street, (he was so big). We had some frightfully harrowing experiences at night. Even he was afraid!  I used to take Chrissy to Manhattan with me when I had to go material shopping in the Bowery. No one would come anywhere near me. If they only knew what a timid dog he was.  
   Thank you for your compliment on line. If you have any suggestions for content or improvements, I'd love to hear them.  Joyce and I have decided 5 stories seem to fit the hour with room for discussion afterward. So let me know--speed, volume, content, anything even corrections for properly pronouncing foreign words (thank you Terrance-need some polish on the French ones, I'm sure there'll be plenty more). It's too bad CRIS radio can't figure out a way to accommodate my physical handicaps to records these sessions. 
   See you all around Thanksgiving with some more "Ole Timey Tales"..............
Thanks   
Audrey Wellner, Secretary
   NFB Krafters Korner division

Great time tonight.....I so remember my grand parents telling me those kinds of stories. Thanks for letting me go back in time and remembering the many happy moments of growing up in New England. That area seems to really have a way with scarey stories! Looking forward to more seasonal stories as the months fly by!
Audry, You have a great gift and I appreciate you sharing it.
Theresa

TO ALL LIST MEMBERS:


Dawn's Spooky Den will be alive tomorrow night (Thursday, Oct 28th) for a reading of "Ole Timey" Halloween seasonal stories.

Gather your children and dial in on your phone line (preferably with speaker device) to listen in on our scary, Secretary, Audrey Wellner (Baba Yaga) read seasonal short stories passed down from generations of mothers, fathers and grandparents as "Tales of Long Ago and Far Away."
Older members will relive a time of yesteryear when they heard these stories over their cracklin radio sets in the parlor, when TV was a thing of the future.
Children are welcomed to listen in only if they remain very quiet and listen intently because if they don't "Baba Yaga" might get them! For my pretty little ones - these are not tales of blood and gore, but scary stories that grandparents told children that had "moral" endings or taught proper behavior. If you don't know what the meaning of stories with "moral" endings are, ask your parents or look up the meaning because "Baba Yaga" will be asking her precious little ones what they've learned.
Please join me, both old and young alike, tomorrow night, Thursday October 28th at Dawn's Spooky Den, 8:00 pm EST: 1-218-862-3242, enter #1, hit #1 and then #50.

(I will be reading for approximately 1 hour, (about 4 short stories) with discussion following final story. Please arrive by coach early so as not to disturb others listening and reserve questions till the end to preserve the atmosphere....
The "Headless Horseman" will deliver people arriving late and he will not announce your presence. Come in quietly, sit down and listen. Hot chocolate, popcorn and munchies will be served in kitchens across the country after the show. Be there or you'll be sorry)
Brought to you from the "Land of Beyond" by
Audrey Wellner, Secretary
("Baba Yaga" for this Halloween season)
NFB Krafters Korner division
PS: Krafter Korner, division of the NFB and all its officers not responsible for causing any adverse thoughts for partaking in this reading and hope that some positive moral behavior will be learned from this session.
