Winter's Eve Event- National Colonial Farm

(Save the Date!) Winter's Eve and Silent Art Auction

Saturday, December 8, 4 - 7 pm

National Colonial Farm Tobacco Barn; painted and donated by Jeff Thompson Kick off the holiday season with a delightful adaptation of Dickens' classic ghost story. Performed as an old-time radio show with live sound effects, "A Colonial Christmas Carol" features Scrooge as a tobacco factor and Bob Cratchit as a free black. After the performance, stroll out to the seasonally-decorated National Colonial Farm with hot cider in hand and sing a few carols by the blazing fire. And don't miss the opportunity to purchase a gift for someone special at the Silent Art Auction, which showcases the craftsmanship of the farm's Stitch 'n Time textile club and other fine art by local artists. All proceeds from the auction will support the educational and interpretive programs of the National Colonial Farm. To inquire about contributing your work of art--including photography, painting, textile arts, pottery, jewelry and more--please email or call us today.
