PUMPKIN ILLUMINATION CANCELLED!
Friday, October 30
5:15 - 6:30 p.m.
All Ages
Due to an ongoing renovation and restoration project of the James Library Building, the home of the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts, we find it necessary to cancel the outdoor Pumpkin Illumination .
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our visitors - especially children - is utmost in our minds. The Museum is still open to the public during normal business hours and asks that all visitors enter through the Atrium doors to the left of the front door.
The construction does not affect the day-to-day operations inside the museum, and we invite the public to join us later in the evening of October 30 for Murder Ballads and Musical Misery by Odarka Stockert at 7:30-8:30 p.m.
MURDER BALLADS AND MUSICAL MISERY BY ODARKA STOCKERT
Friday, October 30
7:30-8:30 p.m.
Don’t miss this evening of spooky yet enchanting music with harpist Odarka Stockert, who will perform 16thcentury murder ballads and other creepy tunes to celebrate Halloween. Stockert is an accomplished harpist with a repertoire spanning the centuries — from Classical to Broadway to Folk. She performs on both the concert pedal harp and the folk harp. Space is limited. $10 Admission for non-members & $5 Admission for Members. Pre-registration is highly recommended.
