Holiday Wreath-Decorating Workshops November 21-23
Escape from daily demands and gather with friends to bring on the holiday spirit by decorating a
premade evergreen wreath. Since the number of wreaths available and decorating sessions is
always limited, it’s important to mark make your early reservation and get the word out by all
social media means possible to those you’d like to involve in this fun and uplifting experience.
You can access the 2024 poster here to send it on to friends you think may be interested.
At the workshops, participants choose from an array of especially collected greens, berries, nuts
and other natural materials, bows, and different embellishments that they would like to add to
their premade evergreen wreath. Wire, glue guns, and other supplied equipment make the
decorating easy and successful. Open to the public, the workshops will take place on November
21-23 in Willard Hall at St. Luke’s Church, 313 Main Street (Route 11 West) and will again
benefit both the church and the Chester Conservation Committee’s youth environmental-camp
scholarships.
To be assured of a wreath and preferred session, participants must preregister early. There are
eight different workshops: Thursday November 21, 9-10:30 AM or 1-2:30 PM or 6:30-8 PM;
Friday November 22, 9-10:30 AM or 1-2:30 PM or 6:30-8 PM; and Saturday November 23, 9-
10:30 AM or 1-2:30 PM. Each session will offer all the essentials to create a very personal, one-
of-a-kind wreath. Men and women are welcome to come alone or register with a friend or group,
and participants are encouraged to bring clippers and glue guns if they have them.
A $5 early-bird discount on the fee of $55 per wreath will apply to those who preregister
and pay by Saturday November 16. Checks should be made out to St. Luke’s Church,
designated in the memo line for the Wreath Workshop, and mailed to Lillian Willis at PO Box
318, Chester, VT 05143. For additional information and registration, please contact Lillian Willis
at 802-875-1340 or lbwillisct@comcast.net.
This is a great opportunity to support two good causes, start getting ready for the holidays, and
have fun doing it! Please spread the word to family and friends.
