An Afternoon of Holiday Cheer
On Sunday December 4, 2016 the King and Queen County Historical Society’s Courthouse Tavern Museum held its annual Open House. Those attending were treated to music provided by King and Queen Elementary School first grade students under the direction of Mr. Fielding and the Central High School Pep Band under the direction of Mr. Guardino. Children were invited to ride in a cart drawn by a miniature horse and have their faces painted. Delicious refreshments were available from the Upper King and Queen County Ruritan Club and the Tavern Museum Council. Toys from years past and a holiday train traveling through a Christmas village were exhibited. A quilting demonstration showed the delicate and precise handwork required to produce the intricate quilts on display. Vendors provided shopping opportunities with a myriad selection of products. Santa in his sleigh was visited by young and old while an elf entertained with hand puppets. The Courthouse Tavern Museum volunteers thank the community for their support and wish all a Happy New Year!
