We have a lot to be thankful for this November: a warm bed, food to eat, friends & family...What are you thankful for?
AMP will be making placemats for the Food @ First Thanksgiving meal! AMP youth & staff volunteer with this program year round working in the market and serving food. Bring your creative side and decorate placemats for their holiday meal!
Family Christmas at Living History Farms is Saturday, December 7th from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm.
Join us for a day of holiday traditions filled with Christmas cheer. Visit the historic Flynn Mansion, where you can help decorate the tree and participate in holiday traditions of a Midwestern family in 1875. In the Church of the Land, enjoy decorating Christmas cookies and sipping hot cider during breaks from dancing to live music. Bundle up for a horse-drawn wagon ride in town, head over to the Advocate Print Shop for a holiday printing project, visit the Schafer Drug Store for a sniff of Christmas spices, and stop into Mrs. Elliott’s Millinery to see the latest in warm winter hats.
Tickets were donated! Let Terri know if you would like to attend! tbailey@yss.org
