The Friends of the Sands Point Preserve have decorated the stately rooms of Hempstead House with all of the holiday trimmings – and invite you to hear “Holiday Tales at the Hearth” on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2011, 12 - 3p.m. A blazing fire in the massive hearth at Hempstead House is the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of holiday cheer – with carolers, children’s crafts, and a special visit from Santa, Mrs. Claus and their elves. Special guests will read aloud many favorite holiday stories throughout the event while traditional music of the season plays in the background. Children three years of age and older should bring their holiday wish lists and letters for Santa – and deliver them in person. Hear the wonderful Wurlitzer Opus 442 Theatre Organ play in the magnificent Gold Coast mansion in the heart of the 216-acre preserve, overlooking the Long Island Sound. Festive refreshments will be provided.
A donation of $10 per car is suggested. Located at 127 Middle Neck Road in Port Washington, New York. For more information, please call (516) 571.7901 or see www.thesandspointpreserve.com.
