Celebrating its 33rd season, the Critter workshop of talented volunteers has been convening since March, collecting acorns, pine cones and other natural materials found in woodlands, fields and gardens that make these whimsical and decorative Christmas ornaments. 

Delightful critters, angels, and stars are displayed on trees and wreaths throughout the museum. Decorated trees display Storybook, Circus, Musical and Angel themes. The Materials Tree showcases beautiful plant materials in their natural state. Other displays re-create scenes of "The Little Old Woman Who Lost Her Shoe," "The Seven Dwarfs," "Noah's Ark," and "Santa and His Reindeer."
