Great event for young and old in downtown Issaquah


Nov 05 2009

On Saturday, Dec. 5, the Issaquah History Museums will host its annual holiday open house at the Issaquah Train Depot, 50 Rainier Boulevard North.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is open to the public, free of charge.

There will be homemade cookies, coffee, and cocoa, as well as activities for the whole family to enjoy. Live music will also add to the festive atmosphere.

Holiday Craft Fair

Local crafters will be at the Depot to sell hand-made items.

This is a perfect opportunity to stock up on gifts and stocking stuffers. Items for sale are hand-made articles.Visit with Santa Claus

The Issaquah History Museums is pleased to present Santa Claus, who will take time out of his busy holiday schedule to chat with children and have pictures taken.

Children may visit with Santa from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring your camera and take a memorable holiday photo.

Holiday Craft

While waiting for Santa, kids will have an opportunity to do a craft based on old fashioned holiday ornaments in the Issaquah History Museums’ collection.

Kids will have a chance to examine the antique ornaments, learn a bit of painless history, and take home a decoration they have made themselves.

This activity is free, although parents are asked to register their children in advance to ensure enough supplies will be on hand.

Please contact Karen for information or to register your children for the craft: 425-392-3500 or volunteer@issaquahhistory.org.
