Sally Cragin presents 'Real Townies Are Always Home"

FITCHBURG - Writer Sally Cragin presents "Real Townies Are Always Home," a spoken word celebration of New England on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the historic Fay Club, 658 Main St., Fitchburg. A traditional New England dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. The menu includes New England Fish Chowder, Yankee Pot Roast with root vegetables, and Apple Crisp with Ice Cream.

"Real Townies Are Always Home" is an entertaining exploration of aspects of New England seldom considered such as the pink plastic flamingo (a native invention), boisterous visiting geese, town pounds, the winter beater, the dreaded-but-welcome plowman, canoeing by moonlight, the awesome snapping turtle and the soul-reviving

qualities of a pond," explains Cragin.

Tickets are $29 (includes tax and gratuity). For seating reservations, call (978) 345-4537; for more information
