SUMMARY:Connecticut Myths and Legends
DESCRIPTION:Connecticut Myths and Legends\nA lecture featuring author and illustrator Patrick Scalisi and Valerie Ruby-Omen\nSaturday\, February 8\, 2025\n5 pm – 6 pm \nSIGN UP HERE! \nNon-members: $5 \nMembers: FREE! \n  \nJoin author Patrick Scalisi and artist Valeria Ruby-Omen for a talk about their book\, Connecticut Cryptids. Pat and Val did extensive research on creature folklore from throughout the state. They’ll explain the concepts of “cryptozoology” and “cryptids\,” followed by a live storytelling session about the Connecticut River Serpent. There will also be time for questions and a chance to purchase signed books and prints from the creators. \n  \n \nA native of Naugatuck\, Pat achieved a certificate in Cryptid Field Observation Studies from Nutmeg State University. His primary focus is on composing written notes of cryptid behavior and appearance while examining these creatures in their native habitats. Aside from his cryptid research\, Pat has been known to write about much more fanciful topics like fantasy worlds and outer space. His youth sci-fi novel\, The Key to the Universe\, is available from Owl Hollow Press. \n  \n  \n  \n \nValerie is a professional artist who earned a certificate in Cryptid Illustrative Works from Constitution State College. Her love for the glorious state parks and natural wonders of Connecticut led her deep into the woods\, where she found her true calling as a cryptid field artist. With her work of cataloging every Connecticut cryptid now complete\, she plans on taking a quick break to sample an iced latte from every coffee shop in the state. When Valeria isn’t creating art\, you can find her moonlighting on various projects at the Tiny Ruby Illustrations.
