THOMASVILLE- The Lapham Patterson House will open its doors on Saturday, December 14th at 11 a.m. for a holiday themed afternoon. The day will start with a hands-on ornament workshop led by Leslie Johnson. Each participant will be provided all the needed instructions and supplies to create a one-of-a-kind ornament. Guests will also receive a guided tour through the house which will be decorated throughout for the holidays. Refreshments will be provided to top off the afternoon with a little something sweet and something warm to drink. This workshop is designed for adults and will not require any advanced craft skills, other than the ability to follow directions, be creative, festive and enjoy the company and conversation with fellow hobbyists.
