Natasha and Renee have informed me of this wonderful opportunity to "explore" colonial history in a hands on way. This sounds like a great living history experience.
Colonial Sugar on Snow
Cost: Free - This event is free to the public, though donations are always welcome.
This event is a hands-on 1700's Colonial Trades weekend. We have 25 demonstrators--everything from blacksmith to colonial kitchen. Everything is hands-on and free to the public. The children make candles, work with colonial dyes, weave, spin, make soap and stir together a colonial pudding, Last year we had a colonial printer, miller with a hand-powered stone mill, wood worker, weaver, constable, town crier, tanner, apothecary and potter plus many more. Hours are Friday, noon to 6 pm and Saturday 10 am to 4 pm We also serve (for a fee) Sugar on Snow...maple syrup warmed to the candy stage, poured over snow where it turns to a taffy, served with a dill pickle, donut and hot apple cider in the New England tradition Hot soup and fresh baked bread and pie are also available.
Hours:
Friday, 2/24: 12PM - 6PM
Saturday, 2/25: 10AM - 4PM
Where: Beaver Bay Community Center
I hope to see some of you there, as we'll definitely be taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
