CHESTER, Vt. – Reserve a place now for the wreath-decorating workshops scheduled for Nov. 19-21, in Willard Hall at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 313 Main Street (Route 11 West) in Chester, Vt. Those who register and pay by Saturday, Nov. 14, may take advantage of a discount on the price per wreath. Since the number of wreaths and workshop sessions is limited, participants must register early to ensure both a wreath and choice of workshop.
Choose from one of eight different workshops: Thursday, Nov. 19, from 9-10:30 a.m., 1-2:30 p.m., or 6:30-8 p.m.; Friday, Nov. 20, from 9-10:30 a.m., 1-2:30 p.m., or 6:30-8 p.m.; and Saturday, Nov. 21, from 9-10:30 a.m. or 1-2:30 p.m. 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.
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 will make the decorating easy and successful.
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 P.O. Box 318, Chester, VT 05143. For a flier to email to a friend, visit www.stlukesepiscopalvt.org. For additional information or required registration, please contact Willis at 802-875-1340 or lbwillisct@comcast.net. The workshops will benefit both the church and the Chester Conservation Committee’s youth environmental-camp scholarships.
