2018 9-Day Christmas Designer Show House December 8-16th 2018

Thank you all for joining us this year for the 14th Annual Christmas Designer Show House at the Daniel Webster Estate, “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!”

This year’s Designer Show House was a success all around. The weather was a friend and made for easy traveling to the over 1,000 visitors we entertained over 9 beautiful days.

Each of our rooms and areas has a hostess and this year we had 60-70 volunteers helping us with our guests. The DWPT thanks you all for your dedication, without you our success would not be possible.

We are thrilled that so many of you took the time to post photos on Social Media and many of you invited new friends to join you on your visit.

If you did not have the opportunity to visit, make sure you mark your calendars for next year as The Christmas Show House is an event not to be missed. Local decorators and ﬂoral designers, some professional and some amateur, some old-timers and some new to the show house; will spend many volunteer hours transforming their chosen room into a Christmas visual delight. Decorations chosen for each room reﬂect that particular designer’s view of Christmas, be it traditional, historical, Victorian, fanciful, or whimsical.

Thank you to the 2018 Decorators!

Family Fun Day – Tenth Anniversary

HELD ON SUNDAY, JULY 29TH 2018

FROM THE DESK OF CAROL KIBURIS, PRESIDENT DANIEL WEBSTER PRESERVATION TRUST

Thank you, Phyllis, and all the Nielsen family for another successful Family Fun Day. Ten years ago you were the only member of the Webster Board of Directors who felt we should reach out to young families and open our historic house for a day of fun. And what a hit it has been through these past 10 years. It was quite the learning process to get started but with everyone behind you, it was pulled together and its popularity continues to thrive.

I’d like to share with you, a note from our organizer, Phyllis Nielsen.

Family Fun Day, a summer fund-raiser for the Daniel Webster Estate, has just celebrated its 10th year and I have so many people to whom I and the Estate are grateful for, and so many people I want to thank for their many years of service to this event: my family, my friends, dedicated sponsors and vendors, and the Marshfield community.

Special thank you’s to Jim Coffey of Busy Bee Jumpers, Bob Costa from BC Tent Co., Roxie’s of Quincy, Haddad’s Cafe, Rand Handy, Kennedy’s Country Gardens, and Ground Effects who have supported FFD for all 10 years. Delicious chowders from the Bridgewaye Inn, Crest Family Catering, and Dockside Donuts for all these years. Much appreciation to Big Joe, our storyteller, who has volunteered his expertise for 10 years and to Marshfield’s finest: our Fire and Police departments for joining us every year and to Beny and Officer Reidy, our K9 team. Much love to my sons: Jim, who provides the petting zoo with a myriad of animals yearly, and Steve, who manages the food stand, and to my group of ladies who serve chowders, collect tickets, make the delicious cookies and brownies, and finally to my faithful committee: Ann, Barbara, Gwen, Mickey and Otis who have been with me from the start. Also thanks to long time contributors: Millie Savage and her husband from Cluster Of Clowns of Quincy, Equine for Events, Seagate Farm, the Fantastic 4H Livestock Club, Don Vautrinot, Veterans Who Care, and the 1936 “Buffalo” fire engine, Denise’s Sand Art, the Mayo’s, the docents who oversaw the 1880 mansion, the Carriage House, and Law Office, Atlantis Pest Services, and everyone else who pitched in to set up, dismantle, and clean up. And this year again thanks to the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Dept who provided over 50 Children’s ID sets to parents. Thanks also to Wally, the Green Monster from the Red Sox, Rainforest Reptiles, and to Michael Page and the Weekend Weather Warrior truck from NECN. THANK YOU MARSHFIELD!

The 10th Anniversary of Family Fun Day brought with it many new faces. I wish to welcome and thank our more recent friends, donors and sponsors; South Shore Therapies, Radius Financial Advisors, Brant Rock Market, C&C Advisors, Cask n’ Flagon, Green Harbor Golf Club, Salty Dog Daycare and Grooming, and Sea Greene Art, Design + Media Mktg. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you again next year in 2019!

We hope that South Shore families will look back on those Sundays when they were children and remember all the good times at the Daniel Webster Estate.

Respectfully yours,

Carol Kiburis, President DWPT

“The Families, the Voyage and the Founding of America”

Thursday, November 9, 2017, 7 PM

This lecture is free and open to the public

Rebecca Fraser sheds new light about the Mayflower and on a family caught up in all the perils of crossing the ocean and settling in the wilderness of a new land.

But the story did not end there. All settlers had to become linguists, traders, and explorers, and yet not forget their roots and customs from the old country. With the aid of exciting contemporary documents, Mrs. Fraser brings the Winslow Family to life, a family made less ordinary by their responses to the challenges of the New World.

Written with the pace of an epic, this is a story that is both national but intimate and human, as the Winslows made the painful decisions that ensured their survival in America.
