There will be salt dough ornament painting for the kids as well as gingerbread house decorating. For the adults there will be tips on entertaining, napkin folding demonstrations, and, of course, recipes and cooking demonstrations using the World Famous Vidalia Sweet Onion. All demonstrations will include printed material so you will have instructions to follow when you try to recreate these wonderful ideas at your own home. No admission will be charged, but due to the change in location, seating is limited. For more information contact Pam Thompson at (912) 537-2556 or Patsy Douglas at (912) 538-8687.
