Join the festivities at the Black River Academy Museum on Saturday, December 9. It’s time for Soup ‘N Sip; our annual fundraising event for this year. There will be many activities taking place at the museum not only Saturday afternoon but also Saturday evening.

From noon until 4pm, there will be wreath-making activities along with decorating graham cracker “gingerbread” houses. The wreaths will cost $20 and the “gingerbread” houses will cost $5 each. For $2, you can create Christmas ornaments. While getting into the holiday spirit, take time to relax and join Gretchen Gregory from the Northern Gardens and Landscapes who will be serving all-natural teas during the afternoon. Children can look for fairy houses hidden throughout the museum. A finder’s prize will be given to each child who finds these delightful miniature homes. These fairy houses will be put up for silent auction in the evening. In order to get an idea of how many supplies will be needed for all of these activities, please call ahead to register for this event at 802-228-5050.

In the evening from 6:30-8:30pm, there will be a silent auction, games, stocking and basket raffles, a scavenger hunt, and of course, delicious soups/chowders/chili to warm you on a cold December evening. The soup will be served in hand-painted bowls which you can take home. Adult beverages will be available. The cost of admission for this event is $25. The museum cannot accept credit cards at this time, please use cash or checks to pay for these fundraising events. See you at the museum on 14 High Street in Ludlow from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. Start off the winter season with an enjoyable day at this historical venue decorated with a holiday Victorian ambiance.
