Cedarhurst proudly recognizes the 2026–2027 Administrative Counselors—our dedicated team of volunteers who help bring the museum’s many events, programs, and special experiences to life! Working alongside Cedarhurst staff, these behind-the-scenes holiday elves help make The Lights and year-round events possible. Their time, talent, and enthusiasm make a difference all year long, and we’re grateful for all they do to make Cedarhurst a special place for our community.
