FREE CHAPMAN STATE PARK PROGRAM
A free program will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. September 25 at Chapman State Park. “Tales of the Eastern Woodlands” will be held in Pavilion 2, at the park, 4790 Chapman Dam Road, Clarendon. No registration is required. Appropriate for all ages, bring the family and sit by the fire as the group shares local legends and lore, historical anecdotes, and Native American singing, dancing, and flute. This program will feature traditional Iroquoian and Algonquian tales from the eastern woodlands, presented by storytellers Grandpa Dave Wargo, Alex Watkins, Bill DeVlieger and Native American flute performer Garry Campbell. Among the tales told are the monstrous Great Horned Serpent of the Allegany River, the elusive Sasquatch, the Little People, and a haunting selection of ghosts and spirits. Hear tales of the famous Chief Cornplanter and the first settlers, the thrilling -and at times comical- exploits of the timber and oil barons who transformed the local economy, and accounts of the Kinzua valley before, during, and after the building of the dam. – from https://www.timesobserver.com/
