Moth Night IS Monday, July 24

Moths & Movie Monday
at the John Fell House

Monday, July 24, is Allendale's 11th anniversary Moth Night, from 7:30 to 10 p.m. The John Fell House, the Fyke Nature Association, and Lee Memorial Library are celebrating at the historic home on Franklin Turnpike. Elena Tartaglia, a biology professor at Bergen Community College and a National Moth Week founder, will do a short talk at 7:45 p.m. and supply the moth lights.

We will also show "Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-out Attack" outside on the library's outdoor movie projector and movie screen to see if any real-live moths are attracted to the cinematic Mothra. We might even try to serve s'mores (but not s'moths) if everyone behaves. Bring your own non-aerosol mosquito spray and water. Rain date is Tuesday, July 25. Ends at 10 p.m. To register, email Jim Wright at celeryfarm@gmail.com.

This program is brought to you thanks to a generous grant from the Winifred M. and George P. Pitkin Foundation.
