<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, hello! <br>
<br>
Riversdale is giving you <b>TWO</b> reasons to be thankful this coming week! On <b>
Sunday, November 8</b>, the Kitchen Guild is preparing a <b>Thanksgiving Feast</b>
<b>from noon-3:30pm.</b> Looking for some new ideas for your Thanksgiving table? Look no further for inspiration than our open hearth kitchen. Members will be using 19<sup>th</sup> century recipes for some Thanksgiving favorites that you can use for your own
Turkey Day celebrations. The demo is <b>FREE </b>and, while supplies last, guests who “pop” by can take home a special treat that was grown in our garden! (There’s a hint in that sentence!) The house and gardens will also be open for guided tours throughout
the afternoon. <br>
<br>
Children ages 8-12 are invited to spend their <b>Wednesday, November 11 </b>Veterans Day holiday at Riversdale during our
<b>Hands-on History Day (10am-3pm)</b>. Kids will spend the day blasting into the past with crafts, cooking, activities, and games as they learn about Charles Benedict (C.B.) Calvert’s time as master of Riversdale. C.B. was a pretty cool guy; he was the founder
of UMD, helped found the US Department of Agriculture, backed Samuel Morse and the telegraph (did you know the first telegraph traveled right through Riversdale’s property?), was a Union supporter elected to Congress, and much more. Our capacity is limited,
but we still have spaces available. The cost is $15 for residents of Prince George’s & Montgomery Counties & $18 for non-resident friends. Advance registration is required – call the office and we’ll be happy to help!

Cheers!<br>
