An unusual Christmas present called a 'mogwai' is given to Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) by his dad with three basic rules for caring for the pet: never get him wet, keep him out of bright light, and never feed him after midnight. When Billy inadvertently breaks one of the rules, the consequences multiply at an alarming rate that builds to an explosively suspenseful climax.

Crab Full Moon Festival
Time: 7:00 pm-9:00 pm
Place: Hastings Parish House - Walpole Unitarian Church, Corner of Main and Union, Walpole, NH
Price: Contact for info
Ages: Contact for info
The River Valley Full Moon Meditation Group would like to invite the community to join us in celebrating the Crab Full Moon Festival. Each month at the time of the full moon, people who are concerned about the state of the world and humanity as a whole, gather to offer service by meditating using a scientific form of creative meditation. This form of meditation helps to step down the spiritual, and healing energies, available at this specific time for planetary redemption.
(Please note: This group recognises the new, corrected , star-based astrological calendar.)
Each full moon occurs during a certain zodiacal sign, that serves as a symbol for the energies available to humanity at that time. Each sign has a keynote, the keynote for the Crab being, “I build a lighted house, and therein dwell.” This keynote reminds us that to manifest as souls in our lives, and through our personality vehicles, we must prepare them and make them bodies of lighted substance.”
The Crab Full Moon Festival will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 1st, from 7-9 pm at the Hastings House, Walpole Unitarian Church, Corner of Main and Union Streets, Walpole, NH. 03608. Meditations are open to the public and operate on the principle of shared responsibility.
Please join us on the River Valley Full Moon Meditation Group Facebook page for news, interesting articles and information on scientific meditation, and why we meditate at the full moon. You may also email the group on FB or call (802) 536-5024 for more information.
