Join Elder Tribe for our Halloween concert at Golden Grove Farm and Brew near Piedmont, SC!
Golden Grove
115 Krim Rd
Piedmont, South Carolina
This will be our first concert after our debut performance at Upstate Pagan Pride Day! Must be some sort of omen that a band with a Druid or two in it will be playing our first pub gig at a place called “Golden Grove,” and so close to Halloween/Samhain too!
We’ll be playing for two hours, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Join us for all of your favorite Elder Tribe songs plus a few new Halloween-y covers! We’ll be giving away an Elder Tribe t-shirt and CD to the best costume!

Registration for this hike has reached max capacity.
After the sun goes down, the fun begins! From hoots to howls you never know what you’ll hear or see during one of our nighttime naturalist programs. The guided night hike and owl prowl will keep the entire family intrigued during this non-scary fall adventure. All activities are considered easy –to- moderate so the entire family can attend.
We love our visitor’s furry friends, but we do understand that some hike participants may consider animals a distraction on the trail. Pets are not allowed on Naturalist Niche hikes because of this.

The Haunting of Mary Shelley
Celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s gothic classic, Frankenstein, with an evening of music dedicated to this novel. Music written & performed by Valentine Wolfe.
It is said that Poe credits his inspiration to Mary Shelley. In a letter found, Poe writes to Ms. Shelley:
“When I was 10 or 11 years old I attended the Reverend John Bransby’s Manor House School outside London. Chief in my memories of the place — and little else I must admit — were the libraries available to me then, filled with the most wonderful volumes both classic and contemporary. It was there that I became acquainted for the first time with the triple-decker of your novel, Frankenstein. Of course, since that missive was published anonymously it was not until many years later that I knew to whom I owed such inspiration as I have drawn from it throughout my life.
For indeed it has been and always will be a great inspiration to me. While some of my works have a tendency toward the macabre (as I flatter myself you may have heard), none I would wager have ever had an effect on another person as compelling as your novel has had on me. I would, in fact, go so far as to state that had the young Edgar Poe never stumbled across your novel at such an impressionable age and loved and feared it so, then the older Edgar Poe might never have written a word — and certainly not the words with which I am most closely associated.” Edgar Poe

Reclaimed Creations is a unique sculpture exhibit created by renowned artist Sayaka Ganz. Utilizing reclaimed plastic objects, such as discarded utensils, Ganz creates amazing sculptures that visually appear unified at a distance, but are in fact separated when examined up close. Described as using a “3D impressionistic” style, Ganz’s exhibit includes installations of animals in motion, which are in rich in color and energy, to create an illusion of form.
About the Artist
Born in Yokohama, Japan, Sayaka Ganz grew up living in Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A lecturer and teacher, Ganz’s work has been displayed at various institutions around the globe, including the Hermann Geiger Foundation in Cecina, Italy, the Isle Gallery in Isle of Man, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.
My work is about perceiving harmony, even in situations that appear chaotic from the inside. When observing my sculptures up close, one might see gaps, holes and items being held on only by small points; step away, however, and the sculptures reveal the harmony created when the objects are aligned to the same general (but not identical) direction. Similarly, it is important to gain perspective by stepping back from current problems and look at the larger picture. Then one can perceive the beauty and patterns that exist.”
