Demonstrations will be given about how to transform a tomato cage into an attractive miniature holiday tree, fashioning logs into wintery holiday characters, using garden produce to accessorize the scenery around the house and more.

The program is free to the public, but registration is requested with the Ellis County Extension office at (785) 628-9430 no later than Nov. 2. Refreshments will be served and door prizes will be given.
