This Saturday night, October 21, we are celebrating fifty years of the Sarah Josepha Hale Award. Incredible writers of the last fifty years have come to Newport and read or spoken to us about such things as poetry, politics, natural history, and literature. It is always a magical evening. I hope you will join us at 8:00 in the Newport Opera House to see Ellen Goodman receive the Sarah Hale Medal and listen to her speech. It's free!
