SUMMARY:Welcome the holiday season with Wilton Dance Studio's "The Nutcracker"
DESCRIPTION:What makes the holiday season special? Cherished traditions\, music and festive decorations set the stage and Wilton Dance Studio’s 21st annual production of The Nutcracker ballet has them all. This year’s performance is back to delight all ages on Sunday\, Dec. 9 and features more than 50 dancers from Wilton. New and extra special this year are a meet-and-greet with dancers and a toy drive for Person-to-Person to share the joy of the season with those in need. \nThe full-scale production with lavish sets and costumes includes more than 80 students and adults from seven area towns. The ballet will be performed on Sunday\, Dec. 9 at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Wilton High School’s Clune Center for the Performing Arts. \n“Each year\, parents tell me their young children who come to the show fall in love with our special ballet and want to start dancing\,” said Creative Director and Owner of the Wilton Dance Studio Brenda Froehlich. “Many of our older dancers shared this happy experience when they were younger and carry that magic with them on the stage each year. This year\, to inspire those young dancers\, we’re adding a meet-and-greet and photo opportunity immediately following our 1:00 pm show. We welcome audience members to come say hello to their favorite dancers and see our beautiful costumes up close.” \nA fun part of the Nutcracker ballet story involves the handing out of gifts to children at a festive party. Unfortunately\, many families in our area can’t afford that luxury\, so the Wilton Dance Studio was inspired to host a toy drive at both performances this year. Audience members are encouraged to drop off a new\, unwrapped toy to be shared with a child in need. All toys will go to the local organization Person-to-Person. Kim Collibee of Person-to-Person said\, “We are expecting to serve more children than ever this year\, so the more toys we can get the better.” \nWilton Dance Studio’s Nutcracker is designed to suit to audiences of all ages while also challenging its dance students\, who change roles and learn more complex choreography each year. The performance length is manageable for young children and does not require an intermission. The ballet follows the traditional story of Clara and her Nutcracker prince from E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King\, with music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Professional sets and elegant costumes complete the high-quality production. \nTo buy tickets\, call 203.544.9007 and leave a message or order at www.wiltondance.com\, click on “Nutcracker Performances” download & print the ticket order form. Tickets are also available at the door on the day of the show. \nPhoto Credit: Donner Photographic \n

SUMMARY:Mercury Glass Votive Workshop for Kids at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:In this fun and festive workshop\, kids ages 6-12 will use paint and water to make shiny mercury glass votive candle holders. While decorating their votives\, museum educator Laurie Walker will talk with the children about the origins of mercury glass\, which was originally created as a replacement for sterling silver\, and contains neither silver nor mercury. The children’s second project will be to make their own snack–fruit dipped in white chocolate\, decorated with silver dragees. Very jolly! \nThe cost to participate for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; for non-members is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid you know? \nMercury\, or silvered glass\, is glass that has a silvery appearance. Mercury glass actually contains no mercury\, although at one point there were several manufacturers who attempted to line glass with mercury. This procedure was short lived due to both the toxic nature of mercury as well as its expense\, but may account for the name. Also called silvered glass\, it contains neither silver nor mercury. Mercury glass is\, instead\, clear glass which is mold-blown into double-walled shapes. The glass is then coated on the inside with a liquid silver nitrate solution\, through a hole in the bottom. \nMercury glass was first created in Germany in the early 1800s. It was used as a more inexpensive material for candlesticks\, vases\, goblets\, and other objects. Silvered glass quickly gained popularity in France\, England\, Bohemia\, and the United States. The New England Glass Company showed a large display of the glass at the New York Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1853; included in the display were goblets\, vases\, spittoons\, sugar basins\, tumblers\, and more. \nAlthough some critics dismissed mercury glass as being too showy and looking too mirror-like\, most people found it very attractive. Soon\, silvered glass began to be decorated with enamel\, etching\, paint\, and engraving. In the twentieth century\, the glass was used to make Christmas ornaments and other household decorations.

SUMMARY:Holiday Sweets:  Mendiants and Chocolate Bark Workshop for Kids at Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:A mendiant is a traditional French confection composed of a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits\, usually made during the holidays\, and often given as a gift. Like chocolate bark\, they can be made with dark\, milk or white chocolate. All this and more will be the topic at a Wilton Historical Society workshop for kids. Museum educator Lola Chen will be discussing these holiday sweets as the children make – and sample – some (nut-free)! \nSuggested for ages 6 – 12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, with a maximum of $25/family; non-members are $15/child\, with a maximum of $35/family. Register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nMediants were traditionally studded with nuts and dried fruits chosen to represent the robe colors of the four monastic orders\, or mendicants\, of the church: raisins for the Dominicans\, hazelnuts for the Augustinians\, figs for the Franciscans and almonds for the Carmelites. These friars lived on charitable offerings\, earning them the appellation of “mendiants\,” meaning “beggar” in French. Today any variety of fruit and nuts are used which offers a great opportunity to show off your creativity.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids:  Gingerbread Cakes
DESCRIPTION:According to food historian Tori Avey\, “Gingerbread arrived in the New World with English colonists. The cookies were sometimes used to sway Virginia voters to favor one candidate over another. The first American cookbook\, American Cookery by Amelia Simmons\, has recipes for three types of gingerbread including the soft variety baked in loaves. This softer version of gingerbread was more common in America. George Washington’s mother\, Mary Ball Washington\, served her recipe for gingerbread to the Marquis de Lafayette when he visited her Fredericksburg\, VA home. Since then it was known as Gingerbread Lafayette. The confection was passed down through generations of Washingtons.” \nAt this Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will be showing the children how to make gingerbread cakes. The recipe they use is adapted from Hannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Simple\, published in 1796. The result is an irresistible “cake” that is a cross between a ginger snap and a soft cookie\, made with molasses\, ginger\, nutmeg and cream. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards\, as well as any leftovers! \nPrevious sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, and dressed macaroni and cheese. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe cost is $10 for members\, $15 for non-members. Space is limited. Please register by email or calling 203.762.7257. \n

SUMMARY:Adzes\, Froes & Hammers:  Wilton Historical Society Woodworking Workshop for Kids Building a Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:What is an adze and what might you use it for? Ever heard of a froe? These and other antique tools\, plus hammers\, saws and nails will be explored at this Wilton Historical Society woodworking workshop for kids. Participants will have an opportunity to see a remarkable collection of more than 600 antique tools in the Society’s 1860 Abbott Barn’s “Tools of the Trades” permanent exhibit. Museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about some of the tools in the collection\, and discuss safety and the ways that colonial children would be expected to use those tools. Then it will be time for participants to use some hand tools (and a power drill) to build their own birdhouses. They’ll also enjoy a snack of puff pastry cheese straws. \nThis program will have an additional materials fee of $5. For safety reasons\, this workshop is strictly limited to 12 participants. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; for non-members the cost is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to Historyrocket.com:  “In colonial times\, every utility item had to be made by hand. Craftsmen made furniture\, tools\, wheels\, utensils\, glass and more. Master craftspeople owned shops in which they sold their products for money or used the barter system of trade. Craftspeople did not learn their trades by going to school. \n“Instead\, as youngsters between the ages of 10 to 15\, they learned their craft by being apprentices to master craftspeople. As apprentices\, they served their masters for 4 to 7 years and thus learnt the secrets of a trade. At the end of their contract\, apprentices had to produce a finished product called a ‘master-piece’. It was named so because the product was judged by their master. If the product passed the master’s inspection\, the apprentice passed his apprenticeship and became a journeyman. Journeymen traveled to nearby villages\, making and repairing goods until they could save enough money to open their own shop. . . . Many tools were used in colonial times such as the scuppets\, axes\, funnels\, compasses\, files\, augers\, gimlets\, braces\, chisels\, gouges\, drawknives\, hammers\, saws\, squares and bevels. Each tool had its own specified usage.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Warm and Wooly Knitting Workshop for Kids:  Learn to Knit a Scarf
DESCRIPTION:Knitting has evolved from Colonial times\, when it was a tedious chore for girls (and boys\, too!) to an extremely popular activity today. Knitting for beginners\, and those with some experience\, will be explored at this knitting workshop for kids. Museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about knitting\, and teach the basics. Each child will start on a scarf. Kids will enjoy a snack of applesauce. \nThis program will have an additional materials fee of $8 per child\, as each student will take home their knitting needles and yarn. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. The fee for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; non-members $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or by calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nAccording to the knitting site FiberWild (based on information from No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting by Anne L. Macdonald)\, “Martha Washington herself was a fierce knitter and was said to never be without her knitting needles. During the Revolutionary War she spent many months in camp with General George Washington. She was called ‘Lady Washington’ and was said to be a grand lady\, America’s own version of royalty\, yet when Mrs. Troupe had the honor to visit Mrs. Washington in camp she said\, ‘We found her (Mrs. Washington) knitting and with an apron on! She received us very graciously and easily\, but after the compliments were over she resumed her knitting. There we were without a stitch of work\, and sitting in state\, but General Washington’s lady with her own hands was knitting stockings for herself and her husband.’ In fact\, there are ‘Martha Washington sewing cabinets\,’ which were particularly popular during the Depression. \n“Knitting was initially a male-only occupation. In fact\, when the very first knitting union was established in Paris in 1527\, no women were allowed.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society:  Stitching\, Stamping and Printer’s Devils Workshop for Kids–Making a Stitch Book and Stamp
DESCRIPTION:In the colonies\, the chore boy or youngest apprentice in the print shop was called a “printer’s devil\,” a reference to the air of mystery and magic which surrounded the early days of letterpress printing. Educated in setting type and working the handpress\, these workers sometimes became master printers\, publishers\, or writers. \n“The bookbinder took the printed pages and made them ready for sale. The binder’s work included folding\, pressing\, sewing\, and trimming the pages to construct the finished pamphlet or small book. Small inexpensive books were called ‘stitch books’ . . . The most common bound book sold by a printer was a blank book used by planters for their crop records\, tradesmen for their business records\, churches\, and courthouses.” (Colonial Williamsburg). \nWhat printer’s devils learned and more will be explored at this Wilton Historical Society workshop for kids. Museum educator Laurie Walker will teach children how to make simple books they can use for journals\, notes\, art\, and gifts. Book-making techniques will include folding and learning an easy stitch with thick cotton thread. Each child will make a blank “stitch book” with a decorative cover\, stitched and glued\, and a stamp for printing. (Includes a snack of fruit salad.) \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Wilton Historical Society members’ fee is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; non-members are $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Mark Twain was a Printer’s Devil! “Samuel Clemens was eleven years old when his lawyer father died. In order to help the family earn money\, the young Clemens began working as a store clerk and a delivery boy. He also began working as an apprentice (working to learn a trade)\, then a compositor (a person who sets type)\, with local printers\, contributing occasional small pieces to local newspapers. At seventeen his comic sketch\, ‘The Dandy Frightening the Squatter\,’ was published by a sportsmen’s magazine in Boston\, Massachusetts. \n“In 1853 Clemens began wandering as a journeyman printer to St. Louis\, Missouri; Chicago\, Illinois; New York\, New York; and Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania; settling briefly with his brother\, Orion\, in Iowa before setting out at 22 years old to make his fortune\, he hoped\, beside the lush banks of the Amazon River in South America. Instead\, traveling down the Mississippi River\, he became a steamboat river pilot until the outbreak of the Civil War (1861–65).” – Notable Biographie

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Colonial Cookery and Customs Workshop for Kids:  Welsh Rabbit and Molasses Bread
DESCRIPTION:Welsh Rabbit (sometimes called Welsh Rarebit) is a dish consisting of a savory sauce of melted cheese and various other ingredients\, served hot after being spooned over slices of toasted bread – nary a hare in sight! Welsh Rabbit dates from the early 1700s and has long been enjoyed as hearty tavern supper. Wilton Historical Society museum educator Laurie Walker will show the children how to make Welsh Rabbit\, and some Molasses Bread\, too\, from a Revolutionary War period recipe. \nThe Colonial Cookery and Customs for Kids Workshop at the Wilton Historical Society teaches kids a “reciept” (recipe) used in the Connecticut region. While the food is prepared\, they hear about Colonial manners\, morals and way of life. The monthly workshops feature relatively simple dishes made with local\, seasonal ingredients\, adapted for modern kitchens. All participants will sample their own cooking and take home recipe cards – as well as any leftovers! The children will learn how a Colonial kitchen would have operated\, in order to appreciate the modern conveniences we take for granted. Previous sessions have made bannock cakes\, pease porridge\, pickles\, an amulet of green peas\, apple tansey\, fairy butter\, pumpkin bread\, cranberry shortbread\, New Year’s “cakes\,” New England chowder\, hand pies\, cheese and ramp soufflé\, pea and watercress Rappahannock\, blackberry maslin\, thirded bread\, pound cake with “Oranges” juice\, maple cup custard\, pepper pot soup\, scalloped tomatoes\, dressed macaroni and cheese\, and gingerbread cakes. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. \nThe fee for members is $10/child\,\, and $15/child for non-members. Space is limited — please register by email or calling 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nWelsh Rabbit vs. Welsh Rarebit: “Though the “Welsh” part of the dish’s name seems clear-cut\, an etymological issue as sticky as melted Cheddar surrounds the second word:  is it rabbit\, or rarebit? The earliest reference we have to the dish\, in 1725\, is quite clearly rabbit; it’s not until over 50 years later that the mysterious alternative spelling starts to twitch its whiskers. John Ayto in his A Diner’s Dictionary writes that rarebit was probably ‘an attempt to folk-etymologize [the name] – that is\, to reinterpret the odd and inappropriate-sounding rabbit as something more fitting to the dish.’ The new name caught on and references to it multiplied a little like – well\, rabbits.” – Leah Hyslop\, London Telegraph\, Sept. 3\, 2013
