Welcome to your Winter Adventure!
Winter in Minnesota can be very, very long and dreary. It can
also be beautiful, with fresh fallen snow and the sounds of family
and friends celebrating the holidays. We have created a catalog
filled with a wide array of classes, workshops, and trips that are
sure to prevent the winter blahs from setting in. There are classes
that will create wonderful family memories and produce keepsake
works of art. We have workshops to enjoy with friends for an
evening or Saturday morning out. You can register for a day trip
without the worry of driving on winter roads-or the dreaded park-
ing and walking!
If you are searching for that perfect, unique, and sure to please gift
call Lauren or myself and we will help you select a workshop or
trip. An even better idea is to register yourself and the gift recipi-
ent for a class or trip to attend together. I can’t think of anything
I would love more than a thoughtful gift and time spent with a
loved one.
We would love to hear your feedback on what kinds of classes you
want us to offer, what times or days work best, and what kind of
setting you would like us to use. Continuous improvement and
meeting our communities needs and interests is our purpose.
Hearing from you is the best way to be able to achieve our goals.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a winter filled with joy
and new experiences.
