To satisfy ravenous appetites for haunting tales, local legends, and otherworldly secrets…

A STORYTELLING at the Ice House

Join masterful tellers within the rustic walls of the historic Charles A. Brown Ice House—shadow-lit and pulsing before flickering flame where the ancient power of the spoken word takes hold to command the night!

Featured in this spectacular lineup of Lehigh Valley’s most prominent spellbinders are: Rob Aptaker, Jim Cyr, Charles Kiernan, Karen Maurer, Denise McCormack, MaryAnn Paterniti, and Larry Scuerman! Hosted by Denise McCormack.
This Patchwork event is presented at The Ice House in collaboration with the Bethlehem Chamber of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
