Join us for our second Virtual Friends’ Weekend and 47th Annual Friends’ Weekend! We will have Shaker educational programming, singing, and plenty of laughter. Your admission “ticket” will gain access for you and your household to our live Zoom event. Your private Zoom link will be emailed.
Your registration fee, membership renewal, auction bids, and additional donations to the Friends of the Shakers through the donate link on our Biddingowl page ensures that the Friends of the Shakers is able to provide consistent financial gifts to the Shakers, particularly at this critical time of COVID-19 closures.
Please also consider online shopping or even a direct donation to help generate some cash flow for operating expenses at Shaker Village while our physical stores and museum are closed: maineshakers.com/shop
