Coming in December, Our Holiday Exhibit:
"Toyland" sponsored by Creekside Fabrics & Quilts
|
Every December we decorate the Gibby House for the holidays. This year, Creekside Fabrics & Quilts is sponsoring this annual tradition. Arcade Elementary 3rd & 4th graders decorate two eight foot trees with ornaments they make in art class, and the society's volunteers pull out all the stops decorating the rest of the first floor. All of the Arcade Elementary classes visit over the course of two days, and we hold special open house hours in addition to our regular hours. Come see the magic and do our "Night Before Christmas" scavenger hunt!
