Birch Creek Musicians Jazz Up Settlement Fair

The Fourth Annual Settlement Shops Fine Art Fair went off with a flair this year. The Ambassador Jazz Combo from Birch Creek played. And they played well, especially considering these seven teenage boys had only performed music together for a week or so!

A colorful event it was!

The event was held on Saturday, August 4 under sunny skies and fairly warm temperatures. Art and food vendors lined the courtyard between the lodging building of this property and the permanent (although primarily seasonal) retail businesses that offer anything from books to cherry pies.

Dinosaur Egg in Egg Harbor

"Extra, Extra! Read all about it!" Mrs. Kathy Beck, owner of the Dovetail Gallery in Egg Harbor, has a 70 million year old dinosaur egg on display! The egg still has a Hypselosaurus baby inside, but it will never hatch because it's been fossilized.

Seventy million years ago a landslide or flood probably buried the nest and egg. Water, rock and dirt turned to sediment, which kept the egg safe.
