The Galva Arts Council Prepares for Christmas

Share

The Galva Arts Council will be hosting a Christmas Wreath & Tree Festival during the annual Old Fashion Christmas festivities. This year the Arts Council decided to bring back the beloved mini trees along with the beautiful wreaths. The Arts Council needs volunteers to pick up and decorate their choice of a wreath or mini-tree in any way they want. The wreath decorations do not have to be Christmas/holiday themed. Wreaths are available for pick up at the Galva Pharmacy or by arrangement with the Arts Council. Decorators can return the wreaths to Galva Pharmacy or to an Arts Council member before Nov. 27th.

On Nov. 30, the Galva Arts Council will be selling raffle tickets for the wreaths and mini trees during the day and at that evening’s Coffee House. The Arts Council will be hosting a soup lunch and a Make ‘n Take craft. More information on the daytime events will be available later. Drawing for the wreaths will be on Nov 30 following the Coffee House. You do not have to be present to win.

This year the Arts Council will be hosting a Holiday Tour of Lights on Dec. 21 that will showcase some wonderfully festive houses to get everyone in the holiday spirit! The Holiday Tour of Lights will take place on December 21th, but we are in need of some houses to show. The tour will be of the outside of the houses only. Those driving the Tour of Lights will get a chance to vote on their favorite home. The winner will receive a sign for their yard and a $25 gift card to Hathaway’s Hardware & Fresh Market! Are you or anyone you know interested in having you house showcased? Please let us know so that we can add your house to the list! The deadline to enter is Sunday, November 30th.
