Join the Historical Society at the Dekker Huis Museum beginning at 11am for touring the museum with your family and family activities. To prepare for the egg drop: Work with your family to design a package for a raw egg that might survive a drop from the upper floor of the museum and bring it with you to the museum. You may put your egg in a container (NO GLASS PLEASE) and you may also wrap your egg inside the container with whatever you choose….be creative. At 12 noon on New Year’s Eve one at a time people will drop eggs. After the drop, you will go outside and grab your packaged egg, and go over to the barn by the trash can. Un-wrap your egg to see if it survived. (NO Glass Packaging Please!) Then visit our workroom for a glass of sparkling grape juice and a fortune cookie! Happy New Year!
