Sure, Ipads and Kindles are nice, but a trip back to the “pre-tech” days of holiday celebrations may be just what’s needed this Christmas. Leave it to the Hancock Historical Museum to break out the wassail and figgy pudding for its 2010 Victorian Christmas Dinners on Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11 at 6:30pm. This year’s theme is “St. Nicholas,” and an authentic setting is guaranteed. The dinners will be served at the 1886 Queen Anne home of John and Druanne Bauer, 844 South Main St., Findlay. Nothing’s been left to chance for this elegant event. Guests will be greeted by a butler, and enjoy an entrée of Cranberry Orange Pork Tenderloin served by a proper waitstaff. Upstairs and downstairs maids will run upstairs and downstairs all
evening, and each guest will also be attended by a personal maid. Not bad for a cost of $85 for members and $100 for non-members! The purpose of this annual event is to raise funds for the museum, stimulate historical awareness, and increase volunteerism in the community. Proceeds from the dinner this year will benefi t the museum’s programs and renovations. Seating is limited and advance reservations are necessary.
Call the Hancock Historical Museum at 419-423-4433 to reserve your seats. A portion of the cost is tax deductible.
