Different crafts were available for people to make while enjoying the “WhoLock.” The crafts had a reference to the shows “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock.”

“Dr. Who” meshes with “Sherlock” at the library

By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

The Poland library hosted a Who-Lock event on Dec. 17.

The event combined the two famous shows on BBC, “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock.”

The idea for the Who-Lock was created by teen specialist librarian Cindy Beach. Adults and children fans of both shows attended the event and created a great turnout.

“Two weeks before the show, we stuck little flyers for this inside all the ‘Sherlock’ DVDs and the ‘Doctor Who’ DVDs and the books so if they check one out, they would know to come down to this,” said Beach.

Beach and the other librarians, along with the Teen Advisory Board (TAB), wanted this to be a celebration of the two “fandoms.” She said that everyone had fun putting this together and that people in the office are already trying to decide who gets the different dec-

orations from the event.

The meeting space was split into a “Doctor Who” side and a “Sherlock” side. Both sides had cardboard cutouts of the different characters from the shows.

Those were a big hit among guests because they wanted to take a picture with their favorite character. A quiz was also available for the guests to take to find out if they are more “Sherlock” or “Doctor Who.” A screen was playing with clips of both shows for everyone to watch.

Participants could create key chains with character silhouettes in them, an ornament that is supposed to represent a robot from “Doctor Who” and even cut-out snowf lakes. Because the shows both take place in Britain, tea and shortbread was served for the guests to eat as they enjoyed the event. When Neighbors | Alexis Bartolomucci guests arrived, they wrote their One corner had a violin, music, and a Sherlock and Watson character cutout names on a piece of paper to be for the guests to take a picture with. entered for an opportunity to win a door prize.

Students start holiday shopping early

By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

Students at Poland Dobbins Elementary had the opportunity to get some holiday shopping done on Dec. 8, 9 and 10 during their Holiday Gift Shop event.

The Dobbins PTO worked hard to put together a holiday gift shop for the students to purchase gifts for their friends and families. Many people volunteered to help out at the gift shop and make sure that everything ran smoothly.

“This is a PTO project that we set out for the kids to be able to

enjoy for the holidays, to be able to buy for their family. They get excited to take items home and have them be surprises,” Lori Casey, chair of the PTO, said.

All of the gifts there, except for the table selling Poland Bulldog merchandise, cost one dollar.

S&T Engraving and Awards provided the Poland bulldog items for the holiday shop. Their table consisted of items like clothing, ornaments, pins and water bottles.

There were items for sale for everyone in the family. There was even a section for pets, which attracted a lot of the stu-

dents.

Each of the classes had the opportunity to come to the holiday shop during the three days it was open. The classes came one by one and had 30 minutes to shop and buy whatever they wanted.

The students grabbed baskets to fill up with different gifts. Most of the students brought a list with everyone in their family on it so they made sure not to forget a gift for anyone.

The money made from the holiday shop goes back to the PTO so they can put together more events, like this one, for the students to enjoy.

Deby Clark lead a class on how to make a Boxwood tree at Fellows Riverside Gardens on Dec. 10 using different holiday materials.

The class started with an empty base to work on their trees. The first step was to find similar branches to place in the styrofoam base to make it look full and even.

Mini Christmas trees provide lots of decoration

By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

Fellows Riverside Gardens hosted a Boxwood Tree event on Dec. 10. Deby Clark led the class on how to create your own Boxwood tree decoration.

Fellows Riverside Garden offers several classes on different holiday themed crafts and other decorations throughout the year.

The supplies were provided

by Clark and Fellows Riverside Gardens. The women attending were given a base and then were taught how to make the

empty base into a full Boxwood tree.

Pinecones, tree branches, plastic berries, ribbon and several sparkley and glittery decorations were available to put on the tree. Clark started the class by showing what the finished product should look like and gave some basic instructions on how to construct the project.

After Clark finished explaining how to make the tree, she had the guests start working on their own. She walked around the room offering advice and answering any questions. Some people were more comfortable

with the craft than others, but they all had a fun time working on it together. “I make museum style pieces, the big ones you see, I do big wedding arrangements and I do it exactly like this,� said Clark.

Learning one style of a crafting method can help someone expand their knowledge and try to incorporate that style into making other different crafts.

Making the Boxwood tree provided the participants with a homemade Christmas that was more unique and fun than anything that could be purchased in a store.

Sprout Club pops with excitement

By ALEXIS BARTOLOMUCCI abartolomucci@vindy.com

The Sprout Club at Fellows Riverside Garden had its monthly meeting on Dec. 17 and this time the topic was all about popcorn.

Lynn Zocolo, the horticlture educator at Mill Creek Metroparks, led the class with help from Mandy Smith, the education director. The children attending learned about popcorn and where it comes from and how the kernels pop into popcorn.

The children started the class with a coloring sheet

before Zocolo started walking around with pictures of corn plants, corn and then popcorn.

Popcorn kernels were passed out to each child for them to feel, smell and look at.

After the children were done examining the kernels, they starting working on making a snowman snack cup. There was a little, clear cup at each child’s seat for them to decorate. They would put googly eyes on the cup along with a red scarf, then they would draw a mouth and some buttons on to decorate it however Neighbors | Alexis Bartolomucci

While the children waited for their popcorn snack to pop, they all went up to what Zocolo referred to as the “discovery table.” The discovery table had two big bowls on it which contained field corn, popcorn kernels and already pre-popped

popcorn, which was used for the children to look at and play with as they waited.

“The smell, you can’t wrong with popcorn,” said Zocolo as the room filled with the smell of freshly popped popcorn.

Different tables were set up with various crafts. Some children made Christmas ornaments while others played with stamps to make cards.

With Christmas approaching, Supper with Santa gave participants a night to prepare for Christmas. All of the crafts

made during the event were taken home and could be used to decorate for the holidays.

“This event is a fun event for families to do crafts, see Santa, watch a Christmas classic movie and enjoy a family-friendly meal,” said McCallum.
