For three days over the February Vacation, we will be running a very special folk and freedom workshop. SPECIAL GUEST: Historical Humorist, Christina Frei Three days of boredom busting drama, guests, art, storytelling, yoga, cooking, and games for children ages 5-12. Learn what kids played with 100 years ago, long before cell phones, and websites. Exercise your imagination while creating classic folk art. Paint like Grandma Moses; make classic wooden animal plaques, and learn fun and fascinating facts about the Revolutionary war while making your own Revolutionary Tri cornered hat. You might even make your own 1800’s version of the ‘ugly doll’ and a Sock Monkey! Three days of active, tuned in vacation fun mixed with fascinating history, and good old fashioned games and play. Call 203-222-1424 to register. Tuesday, Feb 21, Special Guest: Historical Humorist Christina Frei will present: The Top 10 Most Embarrassing Things You Don’t Know about George Washington: A Comedy- Improv-Meets-History program There are things about himself that George Washington would not want you to know. After all, he cut a regal figure in his day. Washington was the most beautiful horseman of the 1700s, a persistent commanding general, and a dignified first President. Even today, his face stares back at us on the one-dollar bill with cold grandeur.
