Hunterstown Heritage Day 7/2/2009

Back by Popular Demand! 

                  Candlelight Christmas Tea...

with John DuRant!

"John DuRant, the Old World Troubadour, has recreated the times and personality of an original strolling troubadour, when such people were the only general entertainment available to audiences in the many villages and small towns of Europe and Colonial America. Vocals, instrumentals, jokes, and storytelling were the mainstay for those strolling entertainers, as they are for John now."

"From single-street festivals to the 6000 member audiences at the Baltimore Pier Six Pavilion. Inside book stores and coffee houses - outside on the sprawling grounds of the Maryland Rennaisance Festival. Strolling or on-stage, John DuRant recreates the Old World Troubadour as general family entertainment. From Medieval European to Modern American Folk, his costumes, music, and storytelling style bring to life what is was like Back Then"

Forget the cares of the day...

Join us for an entertaining evening of good food,

good music...and good friends!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Enjoy a relaxing time with your friends and loved ones at one of these special holiday events.

Ruthmary McIlhenny as "Mamie" Eisenhower

Please call for Dates & Times in 2013!

"Ruthmary McIlhenny portrays Mamie Eisenhower as a symbol of her time and an ideal of womanhood
that relates well to those over fifty, but Mamie’s story, and humor is enjoyed by all ages.
  
“Mamie Remembers Gettysburg” is a recollection of her first meeting with Ike, the trials and tribulations of marriage, war, politics, the presidency and their life together in Gettysburg. During their 52 years of marriage Mamie Doud Eisenhower was the primary person who provided the support for the success of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mamie was so popular as a First Lady, she received over six thousand letters a week. After seeing this portrayal, you’ll become one of those fans."
