Stone Hill Spectacle
A Rappahannock Halloween tradition returns to John Henry’s Stone Hill near Flint Hill next Saturday, Oct. 28.
This year, a mentalist is joining the Spectacle. “The Man Who Knows” will challenge your perspective of reality. Bring a kitchen spoon and Alain Nu will bend it with his mind for you, Henry writes. Nu is an International Spy Museum attraction, entertains at inaugural balls and predicts the Oscars with startling accuracy.
The Spectacle begins at 3 p.m. The City of Alexandria Pipes & Drums and the Gold Top County Ramblers bluegrass band will play in the Amphitheater and the Circle of Standing Stones.
Win a costume prize for Best Overall, Historical, Scariest, Political, Funniest, Animal, Environmental and Fantasy. Still time to think big and go for it! Awards at 6 p.m. The Pipes & Drums will then lead a torch-lit procession at dusk from the amphitheater to the Circle of the Standing Stones. A large bonfire will burn into the evening.
And bring your camera to capture the spirit of the Spectacle. If your images are used in the event’s picture book, you will receive a copy with acknowledgment. This year’s goal: Beating the past record of 38 photographers.
Etlan Little Country Store will serve food throughout the Spectacle.
Adds Henry: “If you are coming from Washington, we recommend you stay for the evening. We have dozens of places for you to stay in Rappahannock. Just let me know and I will give you one. If you have a place and can host guests, please let me know.”
