Radford Students Help Decorate Glencoe Mansion
We all know 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, and so at the Glencoe Mansion we wanted to help lighten spirits by adding more holiday cheer to the grounds for the public to enjoy.
A key to helping bring this cheer has been through the dedicated work from students in the Radford High School Building Trades classes.
Led by their instructor, Wesley Hallett, Radford High School students from all his classes participated in making large wooden snowflakes to adorn the grounds of the museum and show holiday spirit to passers-by.
The students all took part in cutting out and assembling the components. They even painted the snowflakes.
Most of the work was done by students with Hallet adding the final tweaks and touches.
The snowflakes will be featured on the grounds for all to see from now through February 5, 2021.
They accompany the annual holiday exhibit inside and outside the museum.
The 2020 Holiday theme is “Misfits, Ghosts and Grumps,” which explores how our modern Christmas customs have been shaped by four unlikely heroes.
The Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 4 p.m.
The exhibit will be on display from now through February 5. The outside components of the exhibit are on display day and night.
