The FOOD — oh the food…
Don’t forget, this year the theme is the Congdon’s trip to France. So think French cheese, French Bread, all the great foods of France.
What is the food this year?

For a cause
This event is a fundraiser to continue restoration efforts to the estate.
While touring the estate you get to witness past projects that came to life because of past donations and new ticket sale revenue. In the past we revealed Robert’s Room to the public, the Garage and Gardener’c Cottage. In addition, you will be some of the first to see this year’s new projects.
New basement floors — covered by an ugly red rug for 40 years, about a month ago we removed the red rug which was far past its prime and we now showcase the hardwood floor that is beneath it. We currently have a new rug in there, but we hope in the next year to have a replica made of the Turkish rug that once covered much of the Amusement Room.
Now you can see the hardwood of the basement.
Newly uncovered stenciling in Alfred’s room — this project will be so new, we don’t have a photo of it uncovered yet. It happens this week. Here is a photo with it partially complete. The white is acrylic white paint that covered the hand drawn stenciling which you see on the right.
The newly uncovered hand drawn stenciling of Alfred’s room.
Needless to say — you will be some of the first to see these new projects.
So come have an awesome time and support a worthy cause.
