The Active Retirement Association (ARA) and NH Humanities announce a FREE program by Jo Radner, PhD, author and past president of the American Folklore Society and the National Storytelling Network. She will discuss excerpts from her book, “Wit and Wisdom: The Forgotten Literary Life of New England Villages,” that reveal how early New Englanders created handwritten “newspapers” full of verbal wit and humor as a form of entertainment. The event will take place on Monday, March 23, 2026, 2:00 – 3:30 PM, at the Durham Evangelical Church, 114 Dover Road (Route 108), Durham, NH.
This FREE event is open to the public and is made possible in part with funding from New Hampshire Humanities (www.nhhumanities.org). Pre-registration is not required. Cash donations for area food pantries will be gratefully accepted. Light refreshments will be served – come and bring a friend.
