A total of 33 children ages 5-18 attended the workshop, which had two sessions each day July 13-14. Kids chose from 15-18 different types of art and can enter their completed projects in the Phillips County Fair. Participants made origami and pipe cleaner animals, popsicle stick Christmas ornaments, etched glass projects, tin can luminaries and more. PCFES executive director Linda Jelden said she hopes to make the workshop an annual event. — The Holyoke Enterprise | Johnson Publications
