WINE & CHEESE FUN!!!

 

To everyone who stopped by the museum on Friday, a great big THANK YOU!! We had a wonderful turnout for this year's Wine & Cheese event, with a fabulous selection of wines and beers to sample and purchase from Oliva Vineyards.

Oliva was once again amazing with its choices - there was Hugh White White, Button Fire Engine Red, and other great samples from their stock of absolutely delicious wines. Not that we're biased or anything, but the Hugh White white wine was sooo sweet. If you like that sort of thing, this was the one for you. Or you could've tried their signature Post Time Peach wine which was awesome too! Did anyone try the OTB? Off Track Brewing? Ha ha, gotta love puns.

Tasty snacks to go with your excellent beverage selections

We had a great display up in the parlor area, complete with a hat exhibit and lighted Christmas tree (of course!). There were some beautiful decorations on the tree too. Here's just a sample of some of the ornaments that were put up this year for visitors to enjoy.

A Christmas Angel illuminated by the lights

Victorian picnic basket and Christmas trumpet

Corded sparkling wreath with Christmas bow and other festive decorations

Many of these were donated for this event by Cathy Walsh.  Don't they look great? If you'd like to donate an ornament or two (preferably one that is handmade - we appreciate the special touch those ornaments give) let us know! We'd love to add to our collection of ornaments!

And don't worry too much if you missed out this year - we have some glasses (and Images of America: Waterford books) left over if you'd like to drop by and purchase one. We're happy to help put a few extra things under the Christmas tree!
