Deadwood History’s Chinese New Year Party

DEADWOOD – Deadwood History’s Chinese New Year Party will be held at the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center on Saturday, February 1, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The workshop is $6 for museum members and $11 for non-members. The workshop is suggested for students in grades K-6. Call Amanda Brown, Education Director, at 605-578-1657 for reservations or more information. Reservations are required.

Children are invited to hear how Chinese New Year is celebrated and why this holiday is so important in Chinese culture and to Deadwood history. They will learn what the Year of the Rat means for 2020 and the traditions that make Chinese New Year so unique. Students will also make their own Chinese lantern as well as a lucky pocket rat. The workshop will also include a Chinese style lunch and a red envelope ceremony.

The workshop is co-sponsored by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission, Deadwood History, Adams-Mastrovich Family Foundation, Bill Haas, The William Karl and Laura L. Haas Educational Endowment, the Walter and Frances Green Trust Fund, Edith Wong and Beatrice Wong, and Jade Palace.
