Easter Egg Museum Exhibit

Museum was last open in 2014, and this year the entire Schoharie community is involved. Schoharie Village is decorated for the egg-vent by local businesses and school and community groups. Many Schoharie restaurants even have egg specials on their menus. A raffle features egg art by local artists. The Schoharie Library has egg-cellent programs including special story-hours each Friday at 10 a.m.:  April 5^t, a bunny story; April 12^th an egg story; and April 19^th a very special STEM story with eggs-periments.  On April 4^th at 6:30 p.m. you can attend a fun bedtime reading of The Egg Tree by Katherine Milhous, the story that inspired the creation of the Egg Museum. The Library will also host a PJ and popcorn movie night on April 18^th at 6:30 p.m., showing Rise of the Guardians.  A Ukrainian egg decorating demonstration will be held at the Library on April 13^th at 10:30 a.m.  Which came first – the chick or the egg? The Cornell Cooperative Extension will share the amazing development of an egg into a chick with a discussion on April 11^th at 6:30 p.m., and throughout the Museum opening an incubator in the Library will hatch baby chicks.
