jubilima for this one...Allaire is having an event on Feb 21st an early 19th century celebration of GW's birthday:
"Join us in celebrating George Washington’s Birthday. In the early 1800’s there was no holidays that the new nation could bond over more so than George Washington’s Birthday. There were dances and festivities in almost every town. At the Howell Iron Works, the workers and their families have a day of celebration! There will be a special reenactment in the Chapel at 1pm. There will be hearth cooking demonstrations, craft demonstrations, and house tours! This event is a great time to get out of the house during winter and explore the village. This event is a historic reenactment and free to the public."
And I'm lobbying to getjubilima to take the train to Bordentown where I could pick her up and we could go to the Allaire event...then Dinner at The Historic Farnsworth Inn...I'll wear my red wool jumper and spencer, with my wool cloak over it if it's especially cold. Feb could easily go either way.
anyway thought I'd poke the collective tree and see if anyone else would like to join! If we had more than a few people I'll call ahead and make a reservation. Could definitely be a fun day.

I just realized that there *might* be an event in NYC that weekend that could pose a conflict. Since we never have events here I kinda want to support them...but last I heard it was all still up in the air, and nothing is confirmed. If it takes flight I'll let you all know about it ASAP!

Just curious.
