Quite by accident, I found a classmate of my daughter, Laura Birr Brown, on Facebook. Laura is the talented daughter of the talented Jan Birr. If you remember back quite a few years, Jan was a great influence upon the newly formed Galva Arts Council. Anyway, back to the story:
For those of you who don't mind last minute plans, DGI has a free "Holiday Decorating" class tomorrow, Saturday November 20 at 10 AM at 2010 Cowell Pk., Dixon. The class teaches how to make "charming holiday decorations with plants found in your yard. Evergreen pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes creatively designed will be detailed. Great for the do-it-yourselfer."
Otherwise, they are open Monday through Saturday - 9 am to 6 pm - March through December. Sundays - 11 am to 3 pm April to June and November and December.
