Estey Organ Museum

ESTEY ORGAN MUSEUM HOLIDAY SING-A-LONG
Public Invited To Croon the Classics on December 15

Brattleboro, VT USA November 25, 2002 --The Estey Organ Museum (EOM) invites the public to a free Holiday Reed Organ Sing-a-long on Sunday, December 15 from 2 to 4 PM. The event will take place at Vermont Artisan Designs on Main Street in Brattleboro, VT, and is part of the Brattleboro's month-long DecemberFest.

"While we raise money to purchase and restore some of the Estey factory buildings to house our future museum," said Christopher Grotke, vice president of the museum project, "we continue to celebrate the sound of organs being played whenever, and wherever, we can." The museum has held many community events and performances since its inception last January in an effort to inform the public and build interest in the project.

Anyone who likes to sing is encouraged to attend and sing old holiday favorites - song selections to be played, of course, on an Estey reed organ. Performances will be by EOM members Ned Phoenix and Peg Goldyn. EOM will also have gift memberships available for those looking for the perfect gift for organ enthusiasts this season.

Limited flying reindeer parking available on the roof on a first-land, first-serve basis.
