Historical Lecture ‘Discovering Layers in Time’

He will explore how the Dutch population lived during the last half of ‘The Golden Age of Dutch Culture’ (the period in which most of New York State was settled by the Dutch) by examining visual evidence in what remains of Dutch 17th century villages, farms, buildings and gardens; and also studying the important paintings of the time which captured both interiors and landscapes.

Vote for Your Favorite Holiday Storefront Window at Chatham Winterfest 2017, Dec 16

This Saturday is Chatham’s Annual Winterfest, and village visitors will vote to choose the best decorated window display.

This is the first year for the decorating contest, and it’s been fun to see the stores get into the spirit. The competitive spirit in me instantly jumped at the chance to be in a holiday decorating contest, and luckily my office at Beach & Bartolo Realtors, on Main Street, has a huge window/canvas.

The concept is an oversized, arts & crafts, gingerbread house with a nod to our business.

If you are in the Chatham area this Saturday, check out Winterfest, and if you like our window, please give us a vote.

For more about Chatham Winterfest, check out my earlier blog post.

 

DATE/TIME:
Saturday, December 16 2017, from 10am to 6pm.
