WILTON – A Storytelling Dinner will be held at Calzolaio Pasta Company, 284 Main Street in Wilton, on March 23, beginning at 6:30 pm, hosted by local storyteller Phyllis Blackstone. The featured storyteller for the evening’s entertainment will be George Radcliffe. “Uncle George,” a New Hampshire native, will perform a smorgasbord of folktales that he calls “Slumgullion Tales,” with a folksy, engaging style, giving his original spin to traditional stories.
Music during the evening will be courtesy of the keyboard stylings of Jackie Ranco. A raffle will be held to raise money for the Western Maine Storytelling Festival that will be held in Farmington July 20 and 21.
Cost of the dinner is $19.95, which includes a garden salad, Italian entrée, crusty Italian bread with oil and spices, a non-alcoholic beverage, Maine state tax and gratuity. Call 645-9500 to make a reservation, or go online at calzolaiopasta.com.
