Step into the magic of the holiday season at Elf Academy! Join us for a festive series of hands-on workshops where you’ll become one of Santa’s little helpers and create thoughtful, handmade holiday gifts to share with family and friends. From crafting a felted wool cardinal and embossed metal ornaments to mixing friendship soup and assembling holiday simmer jars, each workshop offers a fun and creative way to make something truly special. Whether you are a seasoned crafter or just discovering your inner elf, you will learn new skills, spread holiday cheer, and create one-of-a-kind gifts made with love. Leave the holiday shopping hustle behind and let your creativity shine at Elf Academy, where the best gifts are the ones you make yourself! Pre-registration is encouraged, walk ups are available as space is available. Classes benefit the Friends of Fort Hunter.

We have all the supplies, just bring yourself!  Ingredients: Pasta, Split Peas, Lentils, Rice, Minced Onion, Pearl Barley, Beef Broth Base, Bay Leaves, and Italian Seasoning
