Bats, Spiders, and Snakes

Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History 165 Forest Ave., Pacific Grove, CA, United States

Of course it's in time for the spooky Halloween atmosphere. But in this case it's scientific not merely hair-raising. Learn lots about these often maligned animals.

Celebrating the Beatles

Forest Theater Santa Rita & Mountain View, Carmel by the Sea, CA, United States

A live band, film clips, and storytelling, all that's needed is an appearance by Paul or Ringo. The rest is left to your imagination.  They call it a Rockumentary not a tribute concert. You have to decide. This is a great way to share some memories with younger family members. Details at http://www.pacrep.org

Peacherine Ragtime Orchestra

This orchestra has been touring the USA and the world and playing the great music of the early 20th century. In addition they sometimes add a cinematic aspect. They have come to us for Halloween with two "spooky"silent films one by Buster Keaton and the other starring Laurel and Hardy.  Should be a delightfully campy […]
