To carry on this tradition, ladies from the St. Lawrence Altar Society gathered recently to begin making Christmas Swags to sell at their Christmas Bazaar December 5 and 6.
The first process, after the cones are gathered, is to glue gold or silver glitter; then each bow will be tied by hand. The men gather the fragrant greens early in December.
You may place your order for these Christmas Swags (which sell for $15) by calling: Jackie Grimm, 942-3231; Mary Key Green, 875-5960; or Irene Inglin, 942-3879.
