PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 21, 1989 -- 37 Wingfield Farm Letters a success On Saturday and Sunday a very successful Craft Open House was held by Frank and Kathryn Melton at their home Con. 2 east of 57 Rd. A large selection of such a variety of crafts was available for purchase. Congratulations. On Friday evening the perfor- 'mance of the Letters from Wingfield Farm by Rodd Beatty at the Blackstock Rec. Centre was a decided success. The large crowd which filled the Rec. Cen- tre thoroughly enjoyed the por- trayal of the various folks which this businessman - turned farmer - met and made his deals in the rural community. The evening certainly lived up to the rave reports that were heard before Friday. Appreciation must be voiced to the O.N.O. for sponsor- ing the programme. Larry Hoskin of Lake Louise, Alberta is spending a week visiting his parents Frank and Muriel Hoskin and other relatives.

' Staff and volunteers have been sneaking around the building carrying mysterious boxes of decorations, the exhibits have been partly hidden behind large, tinsel-covered objects that look suspiciously like the parts of a parade float, and visitors to the office are greeted by the melodious sounds of Nat King Cole sing- ing "I'm the Happiest Christmas Tree." That's right--the Christmas Spirit has infected the Scugog Shores Museum. As part of our new year-round operation, we are getting ready for our first "Christmas in the Village" celebration, which will begin on Monday, November 27 and run through to Friday, Decmeber 22. In an attempt to offset the commercialism of the season, we will be offering a range of family-oriented programs and events throughout the month of December. Our main building, log house, Victorian farm house and church will be decorated with traditional evergreens (and lots of mistletoe)! and special ex- hibits will trace the origins of our Canadian Christmas traditions and highlight some popular winter pastimes of the past century. Special events will include Children's Days, featuring a visit from St. Nicholas and story telling sessions for kids; Christmas Craft sessions for children; and candlelight evening tours of our Victorian farm house, capped off with carol singing in the church and complimentary hot mulled cider. With the exception of the craft sessions, which require pre-registration, admission to all our special Christmas events will be free. is week will be an especially hectic one for our staff and volunteers, as we prepare our float for this Saturday's Santa Claus Parade and scramble to get the buildings decorated for our first 'Christmas in the Village' event, next Monday's candlelight evening tour. Anyone wishing to help out with the festivities, or wanting more information on our upcoming pro- grams, can call the Museum at 985-3589. On a different note, the special Korean War Veterans' ex- hibit which has been in place at the Museum for the past month will soon be moving out to make room for the new Christmas displays. If you haven't already seen this exhibit, you still have a few days left, and it is well worth the trip. I spent two years of my own life living in South Korea, and the exhibit brought back many memories for me. Our thanks to Paul Saulnier and Jack Bainbridge of the KVA for loaning us this interesting and thought-provoking display.
