Historical society plans 'Christmas in Newport' bus trip

          Why not spend this Saturday touring historic Newport, R.I. ?
          Your day begins with a drive around this seaside town overlooking Narragansett Bay.

          The sparkle of silver and the glitter of gold will dazzle you as you tour the magnificent Breakers Mansion decked out in Yuletide finery. Hundreds of poinsettia plants, spectacular evergreens, wreaths, fresh flowers, and 19th-century style ornaments turn the house and grounds into a Christmas wonderland. 

A dining room set with period silver and china and mannequins dressed in authentic costumes complete the elegant setting.       

           The Canfield House restaurant will provide lunch in a gracious Victorian setting. Your choice of chicken marsala, baked scrod with lobster sauce or shoulder tender steak with demi glace, includes vegetables, a garden salad and a slice of strawberry cheesecake.     

          After lunch, there is time on your own to stroll the streets, scenic harbor and wharves of Newport and visit the many shops for the start of the town’s holiday season.

The coach bus departs from the Shelton History Center, 70 Ripton Road, Shelton, at 7:30 a.m. and returns approximately 8 p.m. 

Cost is $84 a person for non-members, $79 a person for Shelton Historical Society members and includes transportation, driver’s gratuity, admission to the Breakers Mansion, and luncheon/gratuity at Canfield House.
Registration is taken on a first-paid basis. Forms are available at Shelton libraries, at http://www.sheltonhistoricalsociety.org/christmas-in-newport.html or at 203-925-1803.
