January 2011!

I hope you had a fabulous Holiday and Happy New Year.

Let's get right to the chase.

There are two events you need to know about.

The first is Synetic Family Theater's Nutcracker! The last showing is this weekend! Don't miss it! Critics rave about this amazing show! There's still snow on the ground, so you can still watch the Nutcracker live! Check it out!

And, the long awaited Blacksmith Shop at Mount Vernon is now open! "George Washington's blacksmith shop is back in business! The building is a careful reproduction of the type of blacksmith shop that operated at Mount Vernon during Washington’s lifetime. Watch as blacksmithing demonstrations take place, giving visitors a dynamic view of 18th-century smithing by creating the same household and agricultural items that were used on Washington’s plantation. Included in admission."
