Spring has sprung! (We hope)

Indeed it has, blogosphere! This warm weather came out of nowhere, but by no means are we complaining! For the past couple of weeks Allaire Village has been experiencing some gorgeous weather and we’re hoping the snow is gone for good! Sunday it’s supposed to be 80 degrees! :O (Although this might be considered global warming, not spring) Here at Allaire we’re ecstatic to get our Spring season kicked off with popular events like Bee-Hive Oven Baking Day, our 19th Century Spring Festival, and The Wedding of Maria Allaire. (The daughter of James P.) Be sure to check out our calendar for more upcoming events!

Spring is also a time when our volunteers and interpreters  shed their cloaks/stop huddling by the fire and are able to:

Cider press,*

quilt,*

stop sleeping in class, :/

"I love spring!"

and frolic!

Of course now I’ve probably jinxed us. Stay away, snow, you’re not wanted here!

Over and out,

Hannah
