Smells of potpourri and dried apple wreaths fill the air.Parents of children at the school have been coming together in workshops making apple, grapevine, and pine-cone wreaths. They have been decorating baskets and broad-brimmed straw hats with ribbons and flowers. They have been covering photo albums with fabric and lace, and painting wooden toys and checker pieces.Parents at home will be bakingbreads, coffee cakes, and other “from scratch” items for the fair.In addition there will be a non-clothing tag sale, and a Chinese auction where raffle tickets may be purchased for individualprizes.
