Join us as we follow George Bailey, a man who has sacrificed much for his family and the townspeople of Bedford Falls. Eventually he is faced with a very difficult challenge. Believing that people would be better off had he never been born, he is given the rare gift of seeing what life would have looked like for those he cares about.
Cost is $15 (includes all fees). All proceeds from the play will be donated to 2 local charities.
Food for the Cochrane Food Bank will also be accepted at the door.
Hope to see you there!!

Come and create a fabulous arrangement of seasonal greens, branches, pinecones, and holiday glamour!

Participants will fill a 12″ pot of their own with a combination of seasonally available materials. We will show you inspiring combinations to try and guide you in creating your own masterpiece. The instructor will also share suggestions for keeping your arrangement looking lovely throughout the holidays!

All supplies are included to make a beautiful arrangement, except for the 12″ pot. Attendees may purchase a pot and/or any additional decorations if they wish to add to their arrangement prior to class. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the class if purchasing a pot.

You will need to bring a 12″ pot, apron, pruners, and gloves (or purchase on site before the workshop starts). You may also want to bring something to protect your car seat as these arrangements are a little messy to transport.
