Think Benicia this weekend!
Comments Off
If you are looking for a fun weekend, head to Benicia this weekend. The Benicia glass studios will be open for tour; it is a fun event for young and old! The Nourot Studios have been a favorite of mine to go to, and it is not uncommon to spend hours at their studio watching the craftsman at work. It is amazing watching them craft a beautiful vase or bowl from this red hot burning cylinder. The event is Thursday, December 3rd thru Sunday, December 6th. There will be signs and maps at each of the locations.
Also on Sunday, world famous pipe organ manufacturer Schoenstein & Company will be hosting an open house from 2:00-5:00 PM at their Benicia plant. On display will be a three manual, 24 rank organ in the final stages of assembly that will be installed in the Chapel of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, in January. You will be able to play this organ as well as its companion instrument, a three rank, one manual organ to be installed in the chancel of the same building. Schoenstein & Co. is located at 4001 Industrial Way in Benicia’s Industrial Park.
If you can make it on Friday night, December 4th, Benicia is having their tree lighting ceremony in the city park on 1st street and yearly Downtown Open House from 6PM-9PM. First Street merchants host this ever-popular open house at the beginning of the Christmas Season. Merchants offer beverages and treats and show off their holiday goods while costumed carolers sing traditional Christmas music. Live entertainment, wagon rides, and wine tasting add a festive atmostphere to this family event. Dress warmly and be prepared to enjoy the holiday spirit!
