Be a witness to kidnap
of Frances Slocum
You are invited to join us for a step-back in history, and expe-
rience the kidnapping of Frances Slocum! 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

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.
