On Sunday, December 2, 2012, the Keepers of Point Robinson will be having their traditional gift to the Island community, the Open House at Point Robinson. It starts at high noon, 8 bells of the forenoon watch, and goes until 4:00 p.m. Highlights will be a visit from the Lighthouse Santa, who usually arrives at about 1:00 p.m. There will be a buffet of seasonal food and drink which will be set up in decorated Quarters A and will feature Captain Joe's homemade chili. There will be music of the season and you will have the opportunity to tour the Lighthouse and Keepers' Quarters houses (vacation rentals). Captain Joe Wubbold will personally give tours of the Lighthouse. The Ships' Store will be open for holiday shopping and will have Point Robinson tree ornaments, without which no Island tree is complete. Remember the date is Sunday, December 2nd and it happens no matter what the weather. This is a free family event for our beloved Island friends.
