About "The Night Parade"
A
 teenage girl realizes her lifelong best friends are being seduced by a 
supernatural force, and must choose between being alone and being 
ensnared together. A young woman in a troubled relationship finds 
herself caught between two versions of the same boyfriend—one volatile, 
and one too good to be true. A lonely mother fears her young child’s 
best friend is a witch. And, in the titular novella, a new widow must 
decide how far she’s willing to go to steal her husband back from the 
dead.
In The Night Parade and Other Stories, 
Stephanie Feldman revisits the mid-Atlantic’s eerie legends and settings
 to explore complicated friendships, romantic entanglements, 
motherhood, and grief with a deft hand, a piercing eye, and a feminist 
twist.

Longwood Gardens, 419 Conservatory Rd, Kennett Square, PA, 19348

<h1>From Childhood to Independence: A Night at Longwood Gardens with Amigos de Jesús</h1>
In a country where poverty, limited educational opportunities and economic insecurity can leave young people with few choices for their futures, Amigos de Jesús is working to create another possibility: helping vulnerable children grow into educated, healthy and independent adults with the skills and opportunities to build their lives in Honduras.
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Amigos de Jesús will bring that story to Longwood Gardens for Growing Together with Amigos, an evening celebrating the children and young adults of Amigos and inviting the greater Philadelphia community to become part of their journey.
Amigos de Jesús provides a safe and nurturing home for vulnerable children in Honduras, but its work does not end with providing a safe place to live. The organization walks alongside children from childhood into adulthood, providing education, healthcare, emotional support, faith formation, life skills and opportunities designed to prepare them for healthy, independent lives.
“Our goal isn't simply to care for a child today,” said Kelley Jackson, President and CEO of Amigos de Jesús. “We have to ask what success looks like when that child becomes an adult. Are they educated? Are they healthy? Do they have the skills and confidence to work, manage their lives and build a future within the realities of Honduras? That is the journey we are committed to.”
Guests attending Growing Together with Amigos are invited to enjoy Longwood Gardens throughout the day before gathering in the Fountain Room from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. for a cocktail reception, stories and updates from Honduras, and a private illuminated fountain show.
The evening is designed not only to raise critical funds for the mission, but also to introduce new people throughout the region to Amigos de Jesús and the many ways individuals, families, schools, churches and businesses can become involved.
Tickets are $200 per person and include untimed admission to Longwood Gardens for the day, the evening reception and private illuminated fountain show.

Pre-registration is required to bid. Prospective bidders must submit a signed Terms and Conditions of Sale, a signed Online Bidding Form and a deposit to be approved to bid. A minimum 25% deposit is required, payable to Maltz Auctions, Inc., by cashier's check, postal money order, wire transfer or cash. Funds must be received at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled end of the auction. Credit card authentication does not satisfy this requirement. Buying power will be four times the amount of the deposit. All unspent deposits will be refunded within 72 business hours following the conclusion of the auction.






If a bid is placed with less than one minute remaining, the bidding period will extend so that one minute remains for competing bids. Once no further bidding activity occurs, the sale closes when the time runs out. A 15% buyer's premium will be added to all bids to determine the total purchase price.
