Our annual Host Family Day was a hit! We joined in the festivities at the American Indian Heritage Day at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum.
Au pairs from Germany, Jamaica, Namibia, Panama and Poland attended, many along with their host families!
Activities included bead making from clay and shells, grinding corn, preparing venison stew, traditional dances, decorating faces, corn husk doll making, archery and so much more!

This year we celebrated our Host Family Day by attending the American Indian Heritage Day hosted by Jefferson Patterson Park in Calvert County. Many host families and au pairs braved the rain to enjoy the festivities! There were displays, artisans, dancers and plenty of things to make and touch! Highlights were corn husk dolls, pinch pots, grinding corn and fire making demonstrations!
