Christmas at the mansion was a great success! Thanks to all who participated! Winter Wonderland hosted almost 100 guests on Friday evening. There were over 600 folks during the day on Saturday to visit with Santa and build gingerbread houses. On Sunday we served two capacity seatings for tea with Katherine Dexter McCormick. And we had a good crowd with good sales at the Museum bazaar. |
