Twas the Night Before Christmas 200th
Anniversary Celebration
The Constable
Hall Association in partnership with the Greater Thousand
Islands Literacy Council and the Constableville Library present
the "Twas the Night Before
Christmas 200th Anniversary Celebration" party on Sunday,
November 12th from 1PM-4:30PM at the Constableville Library on 3158 Main
Street in Constableville, NY.
The guest of
honor for the celebration is author and historian Pamela McColl who
is touring the country to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the classic
poem with her book, Twas
The Night-The Art and History of the Classic
Christmas Poem.
The author calls
the masterpiece of juvenile fiction the most often read, recited, reprinted and collected work in the library of English
literature and considers the 200th milestone of this warm-hearted poem
cause for celebration.
Constable Hall is believed
to be the inspiration for the classic poem. Poet Clement Moore visited his
widowed cousin Mary Eliza Constable and her five children many times during
the Christmas Holidays.
This celebration
begins at 1pm with kid's crafts, Christmas Karaoke, a visit from Santa, hot
chocolate, cider and snacks.
At 2pm Ms. McColl
will give a talk about the history of the classic poem with a
question-and-answer session afterwards as well as a book signing.
Books and
Constable Hall gifts will be available for purchase.
This celebration
is free and open to the public with donations gratefully accepted.
