We’ve all had a challenging, unce rtain year, but there’s still some room for som e holiday cheer. Mass. Street is going to be merry & bright as you pick up gifts curbside by co lorful lights. And artists & makers are doing their share, but the best gift this season is sh owing you care: Wear a mask; wash your hands; ke ep your gatherings small; make this holiday season a safe one for all.
What to go, see & do this season Some holiday staples are back — but they look a bit different. We’ve got (gingerbread houses) from Waxman on the north all the way down to Mass Street Soda on the south.”

any of the winter season’s traditional events look different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Journal-World put together a list of some activities that are still occurring this holiday season, as well as some classic activities that can be enjoyed while social distancing.
Gingerbread Festival For 10 days this December, gingerbread houses will be placed in the windows of 15 businesses up and down Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence. The traditional Gingerbread Festival — Big Brothers Big Sisters’ largest fundraiser of the year — had to be reimagined because of the pandemic. Instead of a one-day event with all the gingerbread houses in the same room, now families are invited to see the gingerbread houses in a safer and more socially distant manner.
— Jeffry Jack, area director for Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters, which puts on the annual Gingerbread Festival

THE TRADITIONAL BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS GINGERBREAD FESTIVAL will still be taking place — but the gingerbread houses will be on display in the windows of downtown businesses instead of in a single room. “We’ve got them from Waxman on the north all the way down to Mass Street Soda on the south,” said Jeffry Jack, area director for Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The event’s raffle and auction will take place online, and people can bid on the gingerbread houses and prize baskets. This year, members of the public will also be able to vote
for their favorite gingerbread house. For those who don’t have access to the internet, there will also be an opportunity for individuals to vote for their favorite gingerbread
house at the Lawrence Public Library. Jack said the new format will allow “the entire community to enjoy the gingerbread houses and to participate.” The event will begin on Dec. 3 and end on Dec. 13. On the night of Dec. 13, there will be a YouTube event to announce the winners of the auctions, raffles and the winning gingerbread house.

Meet some local makers and their most popular pieces By Lauren Fox lll
lfox@ljworld.com Looking for a locally made gift this holiday season or for more information about nearby makers? The Journal-World spoke to five artists and craftspeople about their backgrounds and inspiration.
Charley Forsyth Printmaker Charley Forsyth never received any formal art training. But about six years ago, he decided he
wanted to put art out into the world, so he picked up a print making kit from Wonder Forsyth Fair. Now, the West Middle School social studies teacher continues to make prints, which he sells at Wonder Fair and in the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka, among other locations. Forsyth does linoleum block printing, a process
that involves carving into linoleum and printing an impression of the carved surface onto paper. His most popular images include sunflowers, an image of James Naismith and a postcard-style image that says “Greetings from Kansas.” He said he likes that the art he makes is inexpensive enough that even a kid could buy it as a gift, but that it is also unique and handmade at the same time.

Virtual Organ Vespers Concert Organist Tandy Reussner said her 24th annual organ vespers concert will be online this year. For the past 23 years, area professional and amateur musicians have been joined by Reussner on the pipe organ. This year, Reussner will release a 30-minute video of the “best-of-the-best” performances from past years called “Hindsight in 2020.” Featured performances will include violinist Shan-Ken Chien at Chung Yuan Christian University in Taiwan, the Vespers Brass and the Vespers Strings, the Medical Men’s Chorus and the Women in Healthcare Choir, among others. The video will be free and available for streaming on Reussner’s website, tandyreussner.com, starting on Nov. 29 at 4 p.m. Reussner said the video will be around 30 to 40 minutes. Reussner’s in-person Organ Vespers concerts have typically been an avenue to raise funds for local organizations. This year, Reussner said she will encourage listeners to give to local charities during the holiday season. VAN GO’S ADORNMENT SALE will be taking place via an online store this year. Holiday Farmers Market The Holiday Farmers Market will be going online this year, according to market manager Brian McInerney. The Holiday Farmers Market is an annual event that enables vendors to switch gears and sell products such as homemade wreaths, ornaments, seasonal baked goods, body care products, woodcarved products, spices and ferments and more. The products will be available for purchase online between Nov. 1 and Dec. 5, with
curbside pickup of the items on Dec. 12. McInerney said he hopes they will have between 50 and 100 vendors for the online event and that prices will reflect those from previous years. The online store will be available at lawrencefarmersmarket.org.
Van Go Adornment Sale Adornment, one of Van Go’s biggest fundraisers of the year, will be occurring via an online store opening in
November. Van Go is an arts-based social service agency that employs atrisk youth between the ages of 14 and 24. Its annual Adornment event features pieces made by the youth artists. Items will include knitted and crocheted stuffed animals; housewares such as wooden spoons and kitchen utensil sets with painted handles; painted miniature coolers; and other Van Go favorites such as glassware, magnets and nightlights.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good”
Journal-World File Photo
Van Go will not have its traditional opening night celebration for the sale, but it will have limited in-person shopping opportunities beginning Nov. 28. The nonprofit hopes to open the online store prior to that date, but as of the end of October, it did not have a specific date. Van Go plans to keep the online store open until it meets its fundraising goal. The online Adornment store can be found on Van Go’s website at van-go.org.
Where to sled ... and where to warm up after For those looking to sled this winter season, popular hills include Campanile Hill on the University of Kansas’ campus, and hills in Centennial Park, Perry Park and Overlook Park near Clinton Lake. And for those seeking to warm up after, locals recommended grabbing coffee or hot chocolate at The Roost, 920 Massachusetts St., The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St., or Zeb’s Coffeehouse in Eudora, 724 Main St.

Lights still on Many of Lawrence’s holiday traditions won’t be happening this year — one iconic downtown event, the Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade, has been canceled, for instance. However, the city’s holiday lights will still illuminate the downtown area. In this Journal-World file photo, a pedestrian makes her way across the intersection of Seventh and Massachusetts streets at dusk in December 2011 amid the colorful lights.

“I think the thing that I really liked ... was the idea that somebody could have an original piece of art that wasn’t prohibitively expensive,” he said. Forsyth has a website called charleyforsythart.com, and people can see his products for sale on his Etsy page: etsy.com/ shop/seeforceart. His prices range from about $15 to $400.
Sarah Ngoh Sarah Ngoh started making earrings seven years ago because she could never find any that she liked. “I just started making them for myself,” she said. But two years later, Ngoh was up and running with an Etsy site, and now her items can be found at Third Planet. Ngoh is an English lecturer at the University of Kansas and an activist, and her interests Ngoh are reflected in her jewelry. She makes large earrings with images of famous African Americans, queer people or women. Many are writers and activists themselves. Ngoh said she has always liked big earrings, and that she wanted her pieces to be conversation starters. If someone asks about the person on the earrings, “then I get to share with them about an important historical figure, and that’s always really fun,” she said. In addition to making earrings, Ngoh also makes coasters and magnets. The earrings range from $11 to $16, the magnets are around $9 and the coaster sets range from $15 to $25. Ngoh said her most popular items are her Black Lives Matter and Trans Lives Matter earrings, as well as earrings that feature Nina Simone, James Baldwin and John Brown. Ngoh also does custom earrings. “I like making things that look interesting or that look nice, and I get a lot of pleasure out of making something for people that they really love,” Ngoh said. “It’s a great outlet. I have always been into art and crafts ... It’s sort of like therapy for me.” Ngoh’s products can be found on Etsy at etsy.com/ shop/GetYourFleekOn. She can also be reached via her Facebook page: facebook.com/ getyourfleekon. Darin White Character is what Darin White looks for in wood, not perfection. The Lawrence artist creates functional art such as charcuterie boards, hand-carved organic bowls and tables. White studied sculpting in college at the University of Kansas but has experimented with all kinds of art. He was making fine art for a time but

Years ago, he made a serving board for his wife for ChristWhite mas. It led to numerous people asking White to make one for them, and “it’s went from there,” he said. White and his wife own HAVA Studios in Lawrence, where they make custom products and do some art consulting. White said he likes the whole process of his artwork. He enjoys making something valuable out of wood that would have been considered waste. “I actually reclaim trees and then I’ll slab them out,” he said. “A lot of the wood I’m using would have been thrown away.” White describes the wood he uses as having a certain character unlike what you’d find in items purchased from a brandname store. “They are looking for perfection, and I’m looking for the character in the wood,” he said. White’s artwork can be

viewed on Facebook at facebook.com/darinmwhiteartist or on Custom Made at custommade.com/by/darinwhite. His pieces typically are $150 or more.
Bailey Kivett Bailey Kivett strives to make meaningful jewelry — the kind that customers will never want to take off. Kivett uses sterling silver as her medium and a jeweler’s saw to create intricate images. Most of her pieces are place-oriented or include a kind phrase. She also does custom commissions, Kivett including transforming children’s artwork into jewelry. In times when Kivett was able to meet with her customers face-to-face, she said there was often a moment when the person would cheer or gasp because they had just found the “most perfect piece of jewelry for a friend or for themselves.”
Christmas...
“That’s what I keep making jewelry for,” Kivett said. “The idea that it can be just right for a person.” Kivett is an art teacher with the Lawrence School District and has been making jewelry her whole life. She said she got serious about it when she was just 8 years old. She went to the University of Kansas to study to become an art teacher but, after taking a jewelry class, added a bachelor of fine arts with an emphasis in metal. Kivett’s most popular pieces include state necklaces and bangles or necklaces that have a kind phrase on them. Her website is dulcesjewelry. com and her Etsy store is etsy. com/shop/baykivo. Her pieces range from about $35 to $150 for some custom pieces.
Alicia Kelly Local artist Alicia Kelly is a trained screen printer whose love of paper led her to the path of paper-cutting and paper sculpting. Her intricate paper-cut work creates a “multi-layered conversation” within her creations, which also feature textures, shadows and a simple
color palette, according to her website. “Imagining paper as a living creature, I allow the material to twist, bunch Kelly and breathe in a way that is most natural to itself — recognizing both the strength and delicacy in its fibers,” her website reads. In an interview with the Journal-World, Kelly said she enjoys paper cutting because it’s her meditation. “It’s not always about the product, but the process,” she said. Kelly has lived in Lawrence on and off for about 15 years, and is currently an instructor at the Lawrence Arts Center and Van Go. In addition to her paper-cutting pieces, she also is a printmaker. She said one of the most popular things she sells during the holiday season are her moon calendars, which are $15 plus shipping costs. Her paper-cut work typically ranges from $150 to $1,000. Kelly’s website is aliciakellyart.com.

How to celebrate the season safely Local health experts share some tips for gathering during the pandemic By Lauren Fox lll
lfox@ljworld.com
S
pend time this winter season to take care of yourself, have some chill days at home and start a new tradition. That’s what LMH Health infectious disease doctor Christopher Penn recommends. As the weather turns colder and families and friends consider how they might celebrate the winter holidays, Penn and Sonia Jordan, informatics director for Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health, spoke to the Journal-World about how to navigate the intersection of winter gatherings and COVID-19. The winter season will likely make the COVID-19 pandemic worse, Penn and Jordan agreed. Jordan said that people who have been enjoying socializing outdoors may want to continue socializing, but not in the cold weather. That could lead to indoor gatherings in poorly ventilated rooms, which could lead to increased transmission. In addition to more indoor gatherings, Penn said he also expects the virus to

worsen in the coming months in alignment with the common cold and influenza season. He also expects travel will increase. If traveling is a necessity, Penn and Jordan recommended driving over flying. Jordan recommended driving because one can limit exposure to a specific group of people, and rest stops can typically be made in less than 10 minutes. Penn also said driving might be the better option because of the “throngs” of people one could come in contact with in the process of getting on a plane.

For those traveling by plane, Penn and Jordan stressed the importance of wearing a mask, trying to maintain at least 6 feet of social distance and maintaining proper hand washing hygiene. Most importantly, if someone feels sick, that person should not be traveling. In the event of an indoor gathering, Penn and Jordan offered some tips on how to limit risk factors. Jordan said COVID-19 transmission risk increases with intensity, duration and frequency. Instead of having a 14-hour event, maybe shorten it to just one meal or a shorter period of time. Pare down your guest list to just a handful of people. And instead of being in a small room where everyone

Persimmon Bread Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled to room temperature 2 large eggs at room temperature, lightly beaten 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 1/3 cup persimmon puree (from about 6 squishy-soft Hachiya persimmons) 1 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped
is yelling, try to spread out, wear masks and keep a window open. Penn echoed Jordan’s comments. He added that when inviting attendees to a gathering, consider what their behavior has been, and continue to monitor their behavior once they arrive. “If you feel unsafe, take care of yourself and take appropriate action,” he said. For winter gatherings, there quite literally could be too many cooks in the kitchen. Penn said people tend to end up in the kitchen during gatherings, and that with the heat, people might get uncomfortable in masks. To practice social distancing, Jordan recommended having multiple places where people can sit to eat a meal, instead of one big table. And if possible, plan gatherings in a space with lots of room
1 cup raisins, or diced dried fruits (such as apricots, cranberries, or dates)
Directions: Butter a loaf pan. Line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper or dust with flour and tap out any excess. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, ground nutmeg and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then stir in the butter, eggs, applesauce and persimmon puree. Mix in the nuts and raisins. Transfer mixture to loaf pan. Bake 1 hour or until toothpick
to spread out. If there is a particular family member or a friend who is at high risk for COVID-19, Penn and Jordan noted that it “may not be worth the risk” for that person to join a gathering. “It’s about others. It’s about protecting others and keeping others safe ... and that’s what I think people are going to have to balance and think about when making decisions over the holidays,” Jordan said. Penn suggested that people explore ways to visit with family members and friends virtually. He also said it’s important to consider who else will be affected if someone has to quarantine for 14 days. Personally, Penn said he thinks of the people who depend on him. “(Honor) those around you by taking care of yourself,” Penn said.
