The Vampire Talk: An Hour with Count Dracula
Step into the shadows and explore the enigmatic world of Count Dracula, the modern vampire craze, and the timeless allure of the undead. Join renowned vampire authority Mark Dawidziak, author of acclaimed works like The Night Stalker Companion and The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Dracula, as he unveils the secrets of the night. Dawidziak, who also teaches the captivating Vampires on Film and Television course at Kent State University, will lead you through a dark journey with highlights from his own collection—rare and eerie items from his personal crypt. Sink your fangs into Transylvanian Goulash (Hungarian goulash with tender chunks of beef, onions, and red bell peppers in a paprika-spiced tomato sauce), roll and Blood Red Velvet Cake. 


The Last of the Romanovs
Step into the final, fateful chapter of one of history's most iconic royal families. This compelling presentation unveils the lives of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, his beloved wife Alexandra, their four daughters—including the enigmatic Anastasia—and their son Alexei. Experience the intrigue and mystery surrounding Rasputin, whose influence hastened the empire’s collapse. Set against the backdrop of war and revolution, this story is a powerful blend of romance, treachery, mysticism, and the heartbreaking fall of an empire. Discover a tale of love, loyalty, and ultimate sacrifice as the Romanov dynasty meets its tragic end. Lunch will be a Russian cuisine: Pelmeni (pork/beef dumplings) with butter and herbs, cabbage slaw and a Russian Tea Biscuit for dessert. Presented by Susan Cannavino with Presentations with Pizzazz.
