“The Country Parlor Show is a 25 year holiday tradition unlike any other on the East End. The Show features all handmade gifts and holiday décor from local craft artisans,” said Herb Strobel, Executive Director, Hallockville Museum Farm. “These range from hand carved figurines, handhooked rugs, handwoven baskets, to handknit shawls, scarves, and mittens. The Show transforms the historic Naugles Barn at Hallockville into a laid-back and rustic holiday wonderland that is a great antidote to the craziness and commercial nature of the Black Friday weekend.”
