www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday November 14, 2008 - 39 Historic Christmas Feast at regional museum The Halton Region Museum will once again present its Historic Christmas Feast at the museum site inside Kelso Conservation Area in Milton on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 6 to 11 p.m. The menu offers a selection of traditional nineteenth century dishes designed to evoke a time when "eating local" meant enjoying the harvest from your own backyard. The feast is a tribute to the Alexander family -- one of Halton's founding families who farmed the site from 1836 to 1961 where the Halton Region Museum is now located. Guests will be entertained throughout the meal with a traditional Saturday night Ceilidh of Scottish tunes from past and present, provided by the Oakville Celtic Fiddle Club. The Christmas Feast is a Halton Museum Foundation fundraiser offering corporate and personal tables as well as a licensed cash bar. Tickets are being sold through advance sale only and cost $115 per person, all inclusive. Tax receipts will be issued. For information or to book your tickets, call 905-875-2200, ext. 21 or visit www.halton.ca/museum. Cellist honoured Oakville native Adrian Fung is making headlines in the musical world. Fung, a cellist, is part of the all-Canadian Afiara String Quartet, which recently won the 2008 Concert Artists Guild International Competition in New York City. The prize includes two-year management contracts with Concert Artists Guild and a performance at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This recognition comes less than a month after the Afiara String Quartet was awarded second place in the string quartet category at the ARD Music Competition in Munich, Germany. Afiara String Quartet is the quartet-in-residence at San Francisco State University's International Center for the Arts, where the musicians serve as teaching assistants to their mentors, the world-renowned Alexander String Quartet.
