Sleepy Hollow Show & Tell, as featured in The Hudson Independent:
A coffee cup, a goofy winter hat, squishy Pokeman toys, and a shiny pendant may seem like unremarkable objects. To their owners, though, each is a treasured talisman marking a cherished moment, a departed soul, or an enduring connection.
Close to three dozen people delighted in the tales of those and other trinkets during the second-ever adult "Show and Tell” storytelling event Thursday at the Sleepy Hollow Writers Center.
The brainchild of former Writers Center managing director Krista Madsen, the event brought close to three dozen spectators to the Center’s Sleepy Hollow train station headquarters to reprise last year’s Halloween season Show and Tell debut. “I wanted to bring back the notion of kids in kindergarten sharing objects and stories in a casual setting,” says Madsen.
