Ready, Set, Create!

Each year beginning in May, Freeman visions the new trees and displays creating about a dozen decorations based on her explorations of both recycled and other materials. She assembles all the raw materials and art supplies and hosts a “Santa’s Workshop” in November. It’s held at their County storage space which she turns into a fully functioning art department.

Freeman says, “I had the vision to preserve Auntie Josie’s decorations and develop the “Kauai-style” theme but it’s the talent, generosity and commitment of the community that has kept the FOL going, growing and glowing.”
