Members of Ayr Hill Garden Club and Historic Vienna, Inc. decorated the Freeman Store and Museum for the holidays. This year, the Church Street Stroll will be virtual, so the decorations had to be completed early for filming. On November 30, at 6:30pm, the Town will be streaming on Facebook and YouTube the lighting of the Town Holiday Tree and the Freeman Store and Museum. https://www.viennava.gov/index.aspx?NID=985
Instead of using fresh pine garlands, the Club created garlands of assorted pine cones and magnolia pods, accented with bright ornaments. Fresh garlands would not last through the month of December. The pine cone garlands create a very different historic look that is quite elegant. Passersby as the decorations were assembled expressed their admiration for the new look. One person asked if she could 'steal' the idea as she had lots of pine cones in her yard! Of course the club encouraged her and showed her how they were made.
