The Fair Decorating Committee would love your assistance with helping to make Christmas Bauble Wreaths. The wreaths will serve as decorations for every stall but also be up for sale during the event (or subsequently if Covid intervenes).
The link above (and on the decoration) are some instructions on how to make them. The document also has some links to instructional videos.
If you are not keen to do some craft, please consider donating any excess Christmas baubles to us. Baubles can be dropped off at the rear of St John's Hall.
We are also after long lengths of fairy lights to decorate the outdoor twilight event. Happy to accept donations or loans. Please label any lights, near the plug end, if they are to be returned.
Regards
Sonia
