Scary stories, local legends, camping misadventures, folklore… all are fair game at the Waterbury Public Library's campfire stories event on July 27 starting at 7 p.m.

The library's Word Garden overlooking Dac Rowe Park is the setting for this family-friendly storytelling session. All are welcome, although perhaps not very little ones as some stories might be on the scary side. Organizers can't promise there won't be ghosts.

Come prepared to spread out with a blanket or chair. The library will start with a tale and open it up for participants to share their favorite stories, original or otherwise. In case of rain, it will move indoors into the library's meeting room. Questions? Contact Judi Byron at 802-244-7036 or judi@waterburypubliclibrary.com.
