A $25 donation at the door will get you a “Raven” good time! Hors d’oeuvres, raffles, cash bar and good company will be on tap. The highlight of the evening will be North Country Public Radio’s Todd Moe with a special reading of The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.

“The Raven” is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a distraught lover who is paid a mysterious visit by a talking raven. It is a spooky classic for the Halloween season.
