Wreath of the Day – We Travel Far and Wide

by

One of the most special aspects of  Wreath Week is seeing old friends who travel back to Boston to assist with the project. Wreath Week is our second most lucrative fund raising effort, next to the spring benefit, but it didn’t start that way. In the early 1990’s we began decorating to bond with each other, get to know neighbors and have some hands-on decorating fun.  Even when members move, they return, staying in inns, clubs, hotels, and on family couches. This year we had help from Florida, New Hampshire, Cape Cod, and Connecticut (the Berkshires). The beautiful indoor wreath below was done by a resident of Martha’s Vineyard.  It is one of a matched pair.

Wednesday, December 19, 11:30 am – 12:30 am – Christmas in Yellowstone

by

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History will screen a PBS original nature documentary, Christmas in Yellowstone, on Wednesday, December 19 at 11:30 am.As snow falls and Christmas lights glow in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a holiday season of a different sort settles over the great winter world of Yellowstone National Park, designated America’s first national park in 1872 and one of the greatest expanses of unspoiled nature and wildlife anywhere on Earth! NATURE follows in the snowy footprints of Yellowstone’s red foxes, spies on the predatory warfare of wolves and elk, and climbs into the den of a grizzly bear that gives birth to two cubs while deep in hibernation.

In addition to the stunning footage of landscapes and wildlife, trail alongside author and photographer Tom Murphy, who has been coming to Yellowstone for the past 26 winters, camping and photographing amid the silence and solitude of the park. And go behind the scenes with filmmaker Shane Moore to find out how he kept up with Murphy during a harrowing trek, reminiscent of the legendary John Colter’s first journey into the park nearly two hundred years ago.

Join us for a breathtaking look at wintertime deep within America’s first national park. Free with Museum Admission. For more information please call: 508-896-3867, ext. 133
