Get crafty ‘fir’ Christmas

The homestead will offer two classes for adults and one for kids. The adult classes will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6 and a drop-in class for kids between 10 a.m. to noon. The adult class will also run from 6:30-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

The workshop costs $65 for adults and $8 for children. All classes include all materials.
