Shad Fest & Pow Wow
When: 11:30 a.m. (approx.)
Where: Inwood Hill Park, Inwood, NY, NY
SHAD FEST celebrates the annual return of spawning shad to the Hudson River. It will be celebrated with Shad Planking demonstrations and tastings. Visitors will also learn how to cook this delicious fish for themselves. And there will also be werowances (Cherokee for clan chief according to a PBS documentary) and other Native Americans performing traditional dances in the only Pow Wow in Manhattan.
The restaurant is about a half-mile walk from the park, so your most comfortable shoes are recommended. |
July Read: Compare a Wolfe Novel to that of another Grand Master
Although we usually have a summer Book Discussion hiatus, this summer we will try a new format for a Book Discussion -- comparing a Wolfe novel to that of a Grand Master.
Specifics to be determined (books, date, location).
Suggestions for the books to be read and analyzed are welcome and can be e-mailed to werowance@nerowolfe.org.
When: September 13, Saturday
Where: Monmouth (Ocean Port), NJ
One of Archie's, if not necessarily Mr. Wolfe's, favorite sports is horse racing, and eight years ago, we pursued this interest with a Wolfe Pack trip to Monmouth Park Racetrack in Monmouth (Ocean Port), New Jersey. After eight years, it is time to reprise this event and we will do so in September with a picnic, a quiz, a race named The Nero Wolfe Stakes, the opportunity to watch and wager, and a good time for all. The track is located conveniently near mass transportation including a train from Penn Station in Manhattan.
Reserve the date; further details and sign-up information will be provided later. |
