The 2011 Wreath Festival will run for eight nights with a Family Day on Saturday, December 10.   We will run Tuesday – Friday November 29 – December 9, with two sessions each night.

The Woodcock Nature Center Wreath Festival is a treasured tradition for hundreds of women each year. Groups of friends come from as far away as Rockland County, New Fairfield, and Yorktown Heights to kick off the holidays with a fun and creative evening.

What do you need to do? Gather a group of friends for 1+3/4 hours of decorating, preceded or followed by socializing in our warm and cozy pavilion. Relax in front of one of our two fireplaces! Refreshments and wine are not provided, but are welcome.

Using a wonderful array of natural dried flowers, grasses, nuts, fruits, berries and cones, you will leave with an incredible balsam fir holiday wreath. All materials are included in this Ladies-Night-Out event, the proceeds from which benefit the Woodcock Nature Center.

This year’s “Ladies Night” Wreath Festival Evenings will run for eight nights with two time slots each evening - 6:30-8:15 and 8:30-10:15. Registration is only available on line this year.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and is not refundable for this fundraising event.  Don’t miss your chance to deck your halls with natural beauty and support Woodcock Nature Center at the same time. Join us!

Program Fees – $50 to start for a beautiful balsam wreath.

All decorating materials are included in the price of your wreath.

Our Family Wreath Making Day will be Saturday December 10 from 12-4 pm. The price of the wreath on this day will be $40, with an additional $10 discount for any mom who is all signed up for a weeknight wreath making evening. There will be hot cocoa served!

Liz: It should be "...Crush List that lets users...". When you type 'let's', it means 'letRead More us'.

Hey Publius! Thanks for the catch. I posted this yesterday with the very cool Patch app but it mustRead More have auto corrected on me. I've made the change and appreciate you letting me know.

Mad Mothers is a great moniker. Illegals from Mexico have a much much higher incidence of drivingRead More drunk than any other group. Drunk driving is a way of life in Mexico and they bring that here with the deaths and injury that follows. Truly Mad Mothers.

Very sad indeed. MADD has done great work. It is a real shame that they would let politics trumpRead More protection of our children from drunk drivers

Milton, it is the same with the environmental groups. they want to protect the snail darter but doRead More not want to get involved with the illegal immigration issue. Why should they you may ask? google images of "border trash" and see why these groups should be concerned.

The concluding paragraph from the item above: "Hopefully her 30-day experience will remove herRead More fear of firearms and help her recognize that the vast majority of American firearms owners have taken to their responsibility with the necessary seriousness and gravity required. Maybe she’ll also learn that no matter how many laws you pass, you can’t regulate irresponsibility out of existence. Grown-ups still have to be grown-ups. Maybe she will also learn how the Bill of Rights is supposed to work, and how one amendment strengthens another. At a minimum, people like Heidi Yewman should be passingly familiar with the Constitutional rights they’re agitating to take away from their fellow citizens."

A simple truth: when those who call Christ as King do that which He has commanded, we realize thatRead More none of us need the government's handouts, which is just a 'slave to the lender' mindset.

never forget Newtown...!! (RNS) Each Father’s Day, Neil Heslin and his son, Jesse Lewis, usedRead More to go to a car show. But that tradition died when 6-year-old Jesse was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. This Father’s Day, Heslin, who has been active with other Sandy Hook parents in pushing for gun control legislation, is giving his support to the No Father’s Day campaign. Speaking at a media teleconference to launch the campaign, Heslin said, “Jesse was my only child, my only immediate family. I don’t have a father to share Father’s Day with.” Initiated by PICO National Network’s Lifelines to Healing Campaign, the campaign asks participants to send e-cards to Congress, urging passage of legislation to create universal background checks and end gun trafficking.

Exploiting dead children for your political points is disgusting and vile. Given the poster thereRead More can be no surprise about such.

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need theRead More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’” Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds: "We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?
