The City of Nacogdoches is excited to announce a free, fun-filled children’s event to be held at Durst Taylor Historic House and Gardens. The Woodworkers Club of East Texas is hosting a children’s workshop where every child will build a wooden birdhouse or birdfeeder! The Woodworkers Club of East Texas has built several tables and display cases for the City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites Department and the Chamber of Commerce and is excited to offer their love of woodworking and skills to future generations of woodworkers. Every child who participates in the workshop gets to take their handmade birdhouse or birdfeeder home; so come for a morning of building and leave with your work of art!
The event will be Saturday, May 14th from 9 am to 11 am at the Durst-Taylor Historic House and Gardens, 304 North Street. Participants are encouraged to preregister for the workshop by calling Phil Herman at 559-9216 or Bruce Hendry at 569-6159. Those not pre-registered will be welcomed, but at a first come first served basis. Any area children ages 6 to 14 are welcome to attend, but we do ask that all children are accompanied by an adult to assist in their woodworking.
The event is free – just bring an interest in making things with wood; the Woodworkers Club of East Texas will supply the rest! It’s a terrific way to spend a Saturday with your family. We look forward to seeing everyone at 9am on May 14th as we build beautiful birdhouses and birdfeeders.
