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!

Thanks, Sandra. I propose all Wiltonians chip in to buy King Bill Brennan the Worst a Slow Loris!Read More Let's get him a litter.

This animal might look like a harmless, big-eyed baby ewok, but the slow loris is one of the onlyRead More poisonous mammals in the world. Its subtle nature makes it popular in the illegal pet trade, but unknowing humans should stay clear of its toxin, which is released from the sides of its elbows. When threatened, the loris takes the toxin into its mouth and mixes it with saliva. The animal will also lick its hair to deter predators from attack. The toxin can cause death by anaphylactic shock.

Bill I have some possible good news for you. After reading this, I stopped by the Village Market onRead More my way home from a slow, rainy day in the Center in hopes of picking up some kumquats for Filbert. They are out. So it sounds like some of our fellow Wiltonians are laying kumquats around town. I just hope the rain has not scared Filbert. Best to you and your family. I shall pray for you in Church this weekend.

You miss the DAZE of George W?, failing banks, auto industry going under, record high homeRead More forclosures and unemployment, etc etc. Obama is getting it right! BOSTON (Reuters) - The average 401(k) retirement balance for U.S. workers hit a record high of $80,900 in the first quarter, a growth spurt of 75 percent since the stock market's nadir in March 2009, Fidelity Investments said on Thursday based on a survey of its accounts. Most of the recovery is linked to a stock market rally that has lifted the broad S&P 500 Index 145 percent since the close of trading on March 9, 2009. The 401(k) recovery looks even better for workers 55 and older, according to Boston-based Fidelity, the largest U.S. administrator of 401(k) retirement plans. Those pre-retirement workers have seen their average balance nearly double to $255,000 since the first quarter of 2009 when the average balance was $130,700. The analysis covers people who have been with their current employer 10 or more years, Fidelity said.

How fresh is the cat? You know what I always say, "The only good cat is a stir-fried cat."
Bill May 23, 2013 at 04:39 pm
I did find the remains of a small cat, if anyone wants that. Free.

British soldier was hacked to death with a machete. The soldier is not allowed to have a gun but theRead More terrorists had a firearm but chose to behead the soldier. The suspects spoke to camera after attack. “We swear by Almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. The only reasons we killed this man is because Muslims are dying daily. This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We apologize that woman had to see this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don’t care about you.”

Israel knows who their enemy is and are not afraid to call them out. After 4 Americans were killedRead More by terrorists in Benghazi, when violence in the Middle East was raging, President Obama in partnership with Hillary Clinton spent $70,000 in taxpayer money on a commercial that aired on Pakistani television apologizing for the "video." We are sorry. We are going to get the man who made the video who exercised freedom of speech and arrest him. Any terrorist suspects questioned yet?
