Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
One of the most important of holiday traditions in Hanover is the Stetson House Greens Sale held every year in conjunction with the Open House at the Stetson House held on or around the first weekend in December.\u00a0 The Stetson House is a much beloved and important historical landmark in our town.\u00a0 This year\u2019s Greens Sale and Open House will be held on December 6th and 7th.\u00a0 More on that later, but mark your calendar in the meantime!<\/p>\n
The Greens Sale is a fundraiser to benefit the Friends of the Stetson House.\u00a0 Recent past fundraisers have helped to pay for repairs to the chimney, the painting of the fence and trim on the barn, and updating of the electrical system in the barn.\u00a0 John Goldthwait and George Lewald before him have led the efforts to create beautiful wreaths, topiaries and kissing balls at annual greens workshops that are put up for sale just in time for the holidays and to support the Friends of the Stetson House.<\/p>\n
It takes many hands and contributions to produce the gorgeous greens.\u00a0 Please consider cutting and delivering cedar, yew, boxwood, arborvitae, juniper, holly and\/or spruce sprigs to outside the Barn at the Stetson House this week or next.\u00a0 Then, please also consider participating in a workshop to make the finished products:
\n\u2022\u00a0Monday, November 24th, 9:30 a.m., Hal Thomas\u2019 barn at 854 Broadway
\n\u2022\u00a0Saturday, November 29th, 1:00 \u2013 4:00 p.m., Stetson House Barn
\nNo experience is necessary.\u00a0 Please bring your hand clippers and wear gloves.\u00a0 Make plans now to do your part to contribute to our Stetson House!<\/p>\n
