UVI-CES, 4-H, Consumer Sciences to Host Christmas Ornament Festival

The University of the Virgin Islands Cooperative Extension Service (UVI-CES), 4-H/Family and Consumer Sciences Program invite the UVI community to their annual 4-H Christmas Ornament Festival, “A Merry ChristMADRAS,” to be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 8, in the UVI Research and Extension Center – Room 133.

Creativity, camaraderie and holiday cheer will be in great supply as participants create a wide array of festive ornaments for their tree at home and craft a special ornament to be placed on the “Giving Tree.” Holiday punch and cookies, Christmas cheer, and a possible guest appearance will make this event a great way to launch the holiday season.

This event is most appropriate for children eight years of age and older; younger children may join them with an adult or parent to assist them.
