Natural Holiday Sale
/
Last weekend Howard County Conservancy hosted their annual Natural Holiday Sale. I volunteered – as I have for the past few years – to keep the refreshment table full of goodies. So many people brought in loads of cookies…it was easy to keep the variety of delicious cookies (dried fruit for garnish). Making the Russian tea from the powdered mix and taking it out to the urn took more coordination!
There were garden clubs and other vendors filling the room…and live music – piano in the morning, harp in the afternoon.
The usual collection of natural materials took some space – lots to choose from to make ‘critters.’ I took my pictures just before the event opened to the public with the glue guns and materials were still relatively pristine!
There are so many ways to combine the materials….lots of creative minds at work on that side of the room!
There is quite a food tradition in the kitchen for volunteers and vendors: scones and coffee for the morning
Then BLT salad and soups/chilis for lunch. My favorite is the chicken chili with tomatillo salsa.
Overall – a great way to finish off the volunteering with HCC this year!
