Welcome to Christmas at the Museums

The Heritage League has announced events planned for December, beginning with a warm welcome to a 1930s Christmas at the Errea House, 113 S. Green St., Tehachapi. There will be a beautifully decorated tree, hot spiced cider, cookies and gingerbread. Come gather around the player piano and sing Christmas songs like the Errea family may have done long ago.

Across the street at the museum there will be another decorated tree. The Museum Store will have delightful gifts for sale including local jams, coffee, BBQ sauce and books by local authors. There are also children's crafts, toys and old-fashioned candy to buy.

Tickets for the annual Christmas Raffle will be available at $5 each or 5 for $20. The prizes include paintings by Judith Campanaro and a handmade afghan. The drawing will be held Dec. 17 at 2 p.m.

Both the Errea House and the Museum will be open noon until 5 p.m. on Dec. 2, an hour longer than the regular Saturday/Sunday times. Restroom facilities are available at the museum. See Heritage League information at http://www.tehachapimuseum.org.
