I hope you're all enjoying the week and have found a minute or two to breathe in between the hustle and bustle! Riversdale will be hosting its annual Calverts by Candlelight event tomorrow, Friday, December 30, from 6-9 pm. Come on by to enjoy the sounds of the season with live period music, chat over a cup of mulled cider, make crafts with the kids, and visit with Mrs. Calvert and other costumed interpreters. The entire house will be candlelit and decorated for the season. No reservations are necessary, so just pop on in! If you've got out-of-town visitors staying with you, this event makes for a festive evening and if you missed out on Breakfast with Sint Niklaas this year, Calverts by Candlelight is a great alternative! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The cost is $5 for adults & FREE for kids 12 & under.
