The Friends of Historic Race Street will illuminate exquisitely-carved pumpkins at 11:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26 to make this particular midnight not quite so dreary.
As the clock in the courthouse tower strikes midnight, Edgar Allan Poe, as portrayed by Race Street resident and literary historian Edward Moran, will visit the Rex House, 29 Race St., for a midnight reading of "The Raven" and excerpts from "The Bells."
