Holiday market planned next weekend at Kellogg Environmental Center in Derby


DERBY - The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and Kellogg Environmental Center are sponsoring a Holiday Farm Market from 4-7 p.m. Friday and again from 9 a.m.-noon Dec. 3 inside the Environmental Center to coincide with holiday tours of the Osborne Homestead Museum.  

All ages are welcome to experience a museum tour and then browse through the market while enjoying a cup of warm cider.
For more than 30 years, garden clubs have annually decorated the Osborne Homestead Museum with festive holiday displays and arrangements.  
This year there will be wonderful displays featuring semi-precious stones in each room.  
To help extend the holiday atmosphere, the Farm Market will be open during the first of the twilight tours on Friday evening and continue through Saturday morning.
Visitors will enjoy local farm produce, meats, preserves, and honey as well as unique gift items made by local crafters and producers.  

By making purchases at the market you will be helping small, local businesses, and can also begin your holiday shopping at the same time.  Cash or checks only will be accepted for payment.
  
The Kellogg Environmental Center and Osborne Homestead Museum are located at 500 Hawthorne Ave. The Environmental Center is open throughout the year for educational activities and events.  
The Osborne Homestead Museum showcases the history of Francis Osborne Kellogg and offers scheduled museum tours May through October and again at the holiday season.  Tours are free of charge, with donations gratefully accepted.
