Christmas Joys program delights residents
Hopkins County residents gathered on November 8 to kick off the holiday season with two different sessions of the beloved favorite, Christmas Joys at the Southwest Dairy Museum.
Presenters were:
- Johanna Hicks – Johanna’s Joyful Journey (a little bit of sewing, a little crafting, and some recipes)
- Joann Brennan – Broccoli for all Occasions (plus no bake sweet treats)
- Susie Faltesek – Creative Christmas Pots
- JoAlice McCue – Tis the Season to Season up
- Pat Abramson – Pat’s Pampering Presents
With special guests Southwest Dairy Museum staff
The presentation featured holiday ideas to entertain children and students, as well as a few sewing ideas, crafting ideas, and delicious recipes using real dairy products. Door prizes were awarded throughout the presentation.
“Many of the residents remember this program as ‘Christmas Show & Tell,’ which was started by my predecessor, Janie Crump,” Hopkins AgriLife extension agent Hicks explained. “When I took on this position, I kept it going.”
According to Hicks, the program has grown so much it now requires reservations for those that wish to attend, and two show times instead of just one.
