We went out to the ballgame. (And other Allaire happenings)

So things have been pretty busy here at Allaire and I figured I’d devote this post to letting you guys know all the happenings!

First off, the Rolling Iron Antique Auto Show has been re-scheduled to Sunday, August 29th due to rain. >:/

Boo you, rain.

In other news, our Villagers had an awesome time last week. Why? Because they got to hang out with the BlueClaws, that’s why! On August 17th, the Allaire Townball team became Future BlueClaws and ran out on field with the players! Yes, in costume.

The Huddle

We came, we saw, we conqured.

It was insanely awesome.

Here’s something we’re very excited about! On September 1st, Allaire Village is participating in Ask A Curator, an event where twitter users (tweeters? twitterers?) can post questions to museum and historical organizations around the world. There are over 200 museums participating! To post a question, be sure to add the Ask a Curator hashtag (#askacurator) and mention the museum that the question pertains to. Any Allaire questions that have been bugging you? Here’s your chance to ask them!

Don’t worry, if you don’t have a Twitter account you can still post your questions? Either leave a comment on our blog or Facebook page and we’ll post your questions (and our answers) here on September 2nd!

Lastly (but certainly not leastly :P), Allaire has a new favorite website! It’s Historical Tapestry, a group of book bloggers dedicated entirely to Historical Fiction! If you need a good book to read they have some excellent recommendations!

Over and Out,

Hannah


Town ball, Conan O’Brien, and hilarity.

Greetings Blogosphere, Hannah here. I have to apologize for being so neglectful of the blog but I’m hoping things calm down soon and I’m continually plotting good post ideas. Thankfully Mary, our second guest blogger, posted a great (and hilarious) piece about volunteering at Allaire. Like I said, things have been busy; our next big event is Maria Allaire’s Wedding which is always a lot of fun.

So remember way back when I mentioned we’d be starting Town Ball games?

Behold... town ball

Well we’re still pulling things together but we’ll be starting practices pretty soon. We’re hoping our first game will be on our Independence Day Celebration on June 27th. We have our teams, scoreboard, and equipment pretty much set up but we weren’t getting too excited about it. Thus, one of our Coaches found us this…and we only hope to be as entertaining.

Conan O’Brien Plays Baseball ala 1864

Enjoy,

Hannah
