SUMMARY:Christmas in the Country
DESCRIPTION:Kingsport\, TN – The “most wonderful time of the year” gets its formal kickoff when Exchange Place\nhosts its annual Christmas in the Country celebration on Saturday\, December 3\, from 10:00 am\nuntil 4:00 pm at Kingsport’s tradition-rich Living History Farm\, located at 4812 Orebank Road.\nThis is the final public event of the year scheduled at the historic site\, which is proudly listed\non the National Register of Historic Places. Admission is $5 for adults and free for children\nunder 12. \nFresh greenery and trees and other holiday decorations will\, as always\, be a major feature of this\nfestival. Mountain City’s Vickie Price will be offering her wreaths and roping\, made with a wide variety\nof freshly-cut greenery\, as she has been doing for more than twenty years. Unique folk arts and crafts\,\ncreated by more than two dozen talented area and regional vendors in our area — such as hand-\ncrafted wood items\, handmade baskets\, pottery\, handmade greeting cards and jewelry — will be on\ndisplay and for sale. Everyone’s taste buds will be tempted with baked goods\, granolas\, and a variety\nof other foods that will be available to eat on site or to take home for gifts or for your own enjoyment.\nAnd master clock mechanic Rod Groenewold will be on hand with some of his collection of historic\ntimepieces for sale\, along with an antique Seth Thomas clock\, which Rod is offering in a silent auction\nto the highest bidder\, with the proceeds benefiting Exchange Place. \nChristmas in the Country furthers a mission of Exchange Place by demonstrating a slice of 1850s\nwintertime farm life in our region\, and showing how our ancestors would have set up for the holidays.\nFor the past year\, the reconstructed hearth kitchen has been closed as it underwent a major renovation\nby historic contractor Mike Faust and volunteer Heather Gilreath\, who replaced many decimated logs\,\nleveled the building\, expanded the porches\, and made other improvements. Now\, amidst great\nanticipation\, the kitchen will be open again for Christmas in the Country! In the newly\nrestored space\, the Eden’s Ridge Hearth Cookery Society will prepare foods that the Gaines and\nPreston families might have enjoyed during the Christmas season\, such as salsify fritters\, cinnamon\nwaffles\, and ginger cakes. In addition to making these treats\, the Junior Apprentices will be\ndemonstrating 19th-century children’s Christmas crafts in the School House\, trimming a tabletop tree in\nthe Gathering Room\, doing more cooking in the Cook’s Cabin\, and festooning the Yule Log.  They will\nalso be performing chores like chopping wood and assisting in the blacksmith shop\, where the skills\nthat were needed to make hardware and tools for the farm\, fix wagon wheels and\, of course\, shoe the\nhorses\, will be demonstrated throughout the day. The Junior Apprentices will also have a craft booth\,\nwhere they will offer for sale a number of handmade and historically-inspired goods\, including tulip\npoplar bark baskets\, hand-forged knives\, "Aunt El’s" pincushions\, and tin cookie cutters. And around\nthe farmstead\, children — or just the young at heart! — will have other opportunities to assist with\nwintertime activities\, such as candle-dipping\, decorating the traditional tree for the birds\, and visiting\nwith the animals who live at Exchange Place year-round. \nThe Overmountain Weavers will be on the porch at Roseland\, demonstrating weaving and spinning\,\nand sharing their handspun and handwoven items for sale. The Burow Museum will be open with\ndemonstrations of weaving on the restored rocker beater looms\, and visitors can try weaving one of\nSuzanne Burow's antique draft patterns on a smaller table loom. This will be the last chance for visitors \nto view the current exhibit of antique drafts and colorful skeins hand-dyed from garden flowers and\nherbs before the display is taken down for winter safekeeping. \nThe Museum Store always offers handcrafted items\, and this year includes a new book by long-time\nvolunteer Billee Moore\, a perfect stocking stuffer.  When visiting the store\, you will find something\nextra-special featured on the front porch: the first introduction of a doll that will be unique to\nExchange Place and ready for sale in the Spring.  Visitors are encouraged to come up with the\nhistoric name and offer changes to the design.  This is a follow-up to a doll created by several\nExchange Place volunteers decades ago; a history of this and other “ol' timey dolls” will be on display.\nA Kissing Ball workshop will take place from 1 to 2 pm. Using boxwood and other natural greenery\,\nparticipants will make a kissing ball to take home. The $10 fee includes all supplies and instruction\,\nplus admission to the festival. Space is limited\, so to register\, email\nexchangeplace.edu@gmail.com\, or call 423-288-6071. \nA very important part of this Christmas in the Country will be a remembrance of Dennis Marshall. A\nMaster Gardener\, frequent volunteer at Exchange Place and a long-time member of the Southern\nAppalachian Plant Society (SAPS)\, Dennis passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. In his memory\,\nwe are planning to plant a small grove of American Chestnut Trees and are inviting people to donate to\nthe cause of helping to restore this once-mighty hardwood. \nCapping off the day will be the traditional Yule Log Ceremony\, which will begin around 4:15 pm.\nOriginated by the Vikings\, it served as a way for them to honor their gods and request good luck in the\ncoming year. It spread to harvest festivals in Germany and Scandinavia\, then moved to England\, and\neventually was brought to the New World by the Pilgrims. The Yule Log is a Christmas in the Country\ntradition at Exchange Place\, a symbol of peace and good will for our wonderful community. Since it\nwas often decorated with evergreens and sometimes sprinkled with grain or cider before it was finally\nlit\, we encourage everyone to at least bring a twig and to wear fine\, colorful headgear to the event.\nWe will be singing several traditional carols\, and conclude the day with a cup of hot wassail\, which\nhelps us to emphasize the spirit of health and friendship. \nFor more information\, you may call Exchange Place at 423-288-6071\, write to\nepfestivals.gf@gmail.com\, or visit our website at https://www.exchangeplace.info. \nExchange Place is a living history farm whose mission is to preserve and interpret the heritage of mid-\nnineteenth century farm life in Northeast Tennessee. Exchange Place is a non-profit organization\nmaintained and operated by volunteers and is supported by donations\, fundraisers\, memberships and\ngrants.
