Hi Folks,
Thanks to everyone who showed up on Saturday and bought lots of stuff.  Many
of you expressed the desire to have a second go at shopping this sale so we
have decided to do it again this Saturday, March 14 from 10 am to 2 pm AND
everything (except for Mrs. Adams original dolls) is 50% off of the prices
last week!
Items include fabric, hundreds of ribbon rolls, boxes of lace, patterns,
doll furniture and miniature stuff.  There are also "scrapbooking"
materials, baskets, craft tools, and hundreds more craft books in perfect
condition.

Thank you so much for supporting the Claude Moore Colonial Farm.
Anna Eberly
Managing Director

Hi Folks,
Spring arrives this Friday and we are getting ready to open the Farm on
April 1!  This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 3/21 & 22 from 10 am to 3 pm we
are having our Annual Farm Clean-Up Days.  If you would like to join us
sprucing up the Farm, working in the greenhouse, splitting wood,
whitewashing the farm house, hauling sticks, picking up trash, etc., please
contact jen...@1771.org.  Individuals, families, groups, students needing
community service hours are all welcome and if you work we will even feed
you a hotdog lunch!  We are also opening the Estate Sale of craft items from
2 to 4 pm both days and all items are still 50% off.

Our Farm Volunteers are a special group of people who give tirelessly of
their time and talent to keep the Claude Moore Colonial Farm running.  So,
we have created a new email list called Claude Moore Colonial Farm: Behind
the Scenes.  If you are on this list you will receive news about volunteer
opportunities, workshops, special sales, free items, livestock news and
requests for donations of stuff, etc.  If you would like to be added to this
list, you must tell us by sending a message to kcan...@1771.org.  We will
not automatically add you to the Behind the Scenes list.

Thank you so much for supporting the Claude Moore Colonial Farm - a
privately operated National Park.
