Boy Scout Troop 410 (sponsored by Highland Park Baptist Church) is once again selling its six-foot tall candy canes that you see in yards accross the neighborhood during the holidays. But in addition there
is something new: a smaller, 3-foot tall version as well.
The candy canes look spectacular at night with a floodlight on them. The troop is requesting $50 per six-foot tall candy cane with a $5 discount ($45 per cane) for two or more. They are requesting $35 per 3-foot tall candy cane.
You may purchase your candy cane or pick up your preordered cane on November 25 from 2-4 p.m. or December 1 from 1-4 p.m. at 4701 Balcones Dr.
To reserve yours today, email skwestphal@sbcgloba
Great!
For those of you that don't know, the Candy Cane Yard Art tradition started in Allandale 30+ years ago. Several neighbors have shared memories of "candy cane" lane throughout the years.
Luckily, the Boy Scouts have taken on the creation of these emblems of holiday cheer.
In support of the Boy Scouts, there will be a Candy Cane workshop on December 1st. We'll have instructions on how to create a Candy Cane anchor (which will help hold it in place.. and make it less attractive to "sticky fingers.") along with a bit of other fun.
If you can help out at the event or are intersted in dropping by - email me at linneakay at yahoo daht com.
Happy holidays.
