It was nearly four months after the Battle of Wyoming, nearly 225 years ago when the young Frances was snatched from her family farm in Wilkes-Barre and carried over the mountains to be tucked away by her captors in a rock shelter, in the wilderness caves in what is today Frances Slocum State Park. It was nearly sixty years later that her family tracked her down, realizing that Frances, now called Mocanaqua, became part of the indian life whe was forced into following her kidnapping. The reenactment of the kidnapping of Frances Slocum will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, with a lunch (choice of chicken marsala or begetable wrap) at Genetti’s Ho- tel and Convention Center and a special presentation by Sally Teller Lottick. Meet Mocanaqua and follow her as she relives the most traumatic event in her life. As the tour begins, partici- pants will walk to old Fort Wilkes-Barre on Public Square. From here, buses will transport the participants to the site of the Slocum homestead, where the group will witness young Frances being taken away by wild indians. We will then wollow the trail to Frances Slocum state Park and witness Frances’ first night in the rock shelter. Wrapping up the day, the buses will re- turn participants to Genetti’s Hotel in Wilkes-Barre aroung 5:15 p.m. The cost for this event is $15 per person. Advanced reserva- tions are required. Registration will be on a first-come, first- served basis. For more details, contact the Luzerne County His- torical Society today by calling 823-6244 or email Ichs@epix.net. Film festival at Dietrich Since the Wyoming County Cultural Center re-opened the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock in April 2001, it has presented many wonderful films. From time to time, these have included sev- eral foreign and independent films — movies that often don’t get the promi- nence they deserve. This fall, the Dietrich Theater has gathered 14 such films for its inaugural Fall Film Festival. For two weeks, from September 19 to October 2, the Diet- rich will be a showcase for some of the finest movies produced during the past few years from around the world and by independent American filmmakers. The Fall Film Festival kicks off on Friday night, September 15, with an Opening Night Gala. Tickets for this event are $20, and advance reserva- tions are required. The Gala begins with a reception in the lobby with hot and cold hors d'oeuvres starting at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., there will be a showing of the film “Nowhere in Africa.” Fol- lowing the film at 9:30 p.m., guests can enjoy dessert, prepared by Epi- curean Delight. And finally, the film “Respiro” will be screened at 10 p.m. Reservations for the reception and two movies on September 19 can be made by calling 996-1500. Credit cards are accepted. For the remaining 13 days and nights of the festival, films can be seen individually for the Dietrich’s regular low ticket prices. Matinee performanc- es (before 6 p.m.) are just $5 for adults, and $3 for children and seniors. Tickets for evening presentations are $6 for adults and $4 for children and seniors. Each film will have several showings during the festival. For more information, call 996-1500 or visit www.dietrichtheater.com.
