Pizza and Wreaths 2024
Margie with great grandchildren!
Bring your pruning shears! Come for a day in the country…….make a wreath for the holidays…. make another to give to someone! Bring a friend…. or a party! There will be plenty of greens, lots of wreath rings…. demonstrations of just how to do it each hour on the hour. Pizza galore… all you can eat while you’re here. Reservations a really good idea….. we’ll be capping the number of people we can accommodate. Last year Kashaya and her crew made 112 pizzas…… just the right amount!
The General Store will be open, and it should be filled with oodles of fresh jams, jellies, chutneys and syrups…. perfect for holiday giving.
Fingers crossed it will be another glorious fall day……
Tickets will go on sale October 19, 2024. We’ll remind you in the next Ripples from the River.
Just a reminder…. Bring your pruning shears!
