It's WFDD's annual evening of stargazing, storytelling, and, of course, s'mores!
Join us Saturday, October 18th at the lake at YMCA's Camp Hanes in King, NC. We'll gather near the marina to make s'mores and listen to family-friendly spooky stories. The Forsyth Astronomical Society will also be onsite with a high powered telescope to give a guided tour of the night sky.
After the fires start to die down, join us at StoCo Provisions for a drink — your first one is on us!

FAQ
What address should I put in my GPS?

Can I buy tickets at the event?
Yes, general admission tickets will be available onsite, but early bird pricing is only online.
What happens if it rains?
In the event of inclement weather, an email will be sent to everyone with a ticket to alert them, we will cancel the event and refund you the cost of your ticket.
I have accessibility needs - what is the terrain like? Is there priority parking?
Camp Hanes does have paved walk ways, however there are steps going down in to the amphitheater (our main listening area) that do not have rails and other seating will be on a grassy hill. Additionally, we do have limited parking that is closer to the lake than the general parking. If you are in need of one of these spots, please reach out to Rachel Thomas directly at thomara@wfu.edu.
What if I have a question that's not answered here?
Please reach out to us at wfddpublicradio@wfu.edu with any additional questions. On the day of the event most of our staff will at the event, but we'll answer you as soon as possible!
