On Friday evening, December 5, 2008, the museum will put on its Christmas attire with its preview party. The preview event will offer guests an opportunity to sample the weekend.
The museum will open its doors at 8 a.m. Saturday, December 6, 2008 for the free two-day event, featuring some of the area’s most talented artisans, cooks and musicians. Visitors will enjoy the education tent and community exhibits, down east cooking as well as kick up their heels to local musicians; decide what is fact and what is fiction as storytellers unwind their colorful tales and see some of the most talented decoy carvers from the Maryland to Georgia present their collectible wares. At 5:00 p.m., there will be an auction of donated art, crafts, and unique gifts.
On Sunday, December 7, 2008, doors open at 10:00 a.m. and the weekend ends at 4:00 p.m.
“It’s an event that not only educates but entertains,” said Pam Morris, education director of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. “We want people to learn about our heritage, but we want to make sure they have plenty of opportunity to experience the traditions while doing so.”
