Fall Family Fun Day Build A Scarecrow On Sunday, September 26th at 2 p.m. kids and parents are invited to the 3rd Annual Fall Family Fun Day at the History Place. The whole family can be part of constructing life-size scarecrows that they can take home for their own fall decorations. Museum Educator, Carol Smith, will lead the event. Each scarecrow will be created for notable people of Carteret County including John Motley Morehead, Morehead City’s founder; Emeline Pigott, confederate spy, and even Blackbeard the pirate. Guests will learn a little history about some of the prominent people in Carteret County while having a lot of fun. Guests should bring a pair of denim pants (jeans), a flannel shirt and a pillow case, or for a small charge, the museum will supply them. The History Place will also furnish the straw, stuffing, backbone boards, nails, hammers, rope and pins to hold the scarecrows together. Light refreshments will be served. The cost is $10 per scarecrow and space is limited. Advance reservations are required. Call the History Place at 252-247-7533 ext. 10 to to reserve your seat for this fun family outing. |
