Resident Culture Brewing Company, 2101 Central Avenue, is hosting Plaza Midwood Holiday Bazaar and Christmas Light Balls Workshop on Saturday, December 1st, 2018, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission to the bazaar and workshop are both free, but there’s a cost for supplies for the workshop if you don’t bring your own.
There will be stations set up to help all attendees craft their own Christmas Light Balls to hang on your outdoor trees. The goal is for Plaza Midwood residents to fill the neighborhood with the lights in time for the 2nd annual “Deck the Streets” 5K on December 14th.
Need supplies? Sign up here. They’re $10.
Here’s information on the workshop:
Have you ever wanted to know how to make those lighted Christmas balls you see around Plaza Midwood during the holidays? Now is your chance to learn how to make your own!
PMNA will be hosting a “Deck the Streets” workshop on Saturday, December 1st at Resident Culture on Central Avenue from 12:00-5:00 p.m. to make your own with tips from local pro and Plaza Midwood neighbor, Chris Rich.
This workshop is open to Christmas ball makers of all levels of expertise, so if you already know how to make them, come enjoy making them alongside fellow neighbors with a delicious pint of Resident Culture’s freshest beer.
Building supplies will be available for purchase ($10/ball) at the workshop; however, you are welcome to purchase your own materials in advance. The following is a recommended supply list:
• One roll chicken wire (poultry netting) – 2′ x 50 ‘ makes 10-12 small balls
• Two, 100-count mini-light strands PER BALL ( Ex. 10 packs of lights makes 5 balls)
• Work gloves (Thick enough to prevent stabbing yourself with chicken wire)
• Wire cutters or sheers (We will have plenty of these on site if you do not wish to purchase your own)
All proceeds from this event will be donated to Refugee Support Services, a 501(c)3 providing a multitude of programs to assist refugees who have been resettled in Charlotte.
