“What a joyous way to spend the day with my family!” exclaimed one of last year’s attendees. “My children were delighted at being able to roam in and out of various crafting rooms, discover tiny treasures and watch an enchanting puppet show. And I loved the variety of artisanal items. We left with unique holiday gifts for everyone we know! We’re already looking forward to coming back next year.”
This enchanting whole-family event transforms the school into a winter wonderland where visitors can both create and discover one-of-a-kind treasures for the holiday season.
