THOMASTON — Watts Hall Community Players and Watts Hall Community Arts are hosting the third annual Merry Mannequins Evergreen Extravaganza on Saturday, December 14 and Sunday Dcember 15, 2024.

Individual creators or design teams will spend the day of the 14th in Watts Hall transforming evergreen boughs into gorgeous holiday gowns utilizing the greens, dress forms, and chicken wire provided. Enhance you creation with embellishments of your choosing and then eat, drink and be merry at an early evening reception with music and light refreshments in the midst of the evergreen finery. The gowns will also be on display the following afternoon for public viewing by donation.

All proceeds will go to support the AIO Energy Assistance program.

If you’d like to create a gown for this magical event, you must sign up no later than November 15 by sending an email to sheilaghguyer@gmail.com or darylhahn@gmail.com. There will be a $15 materials fee.

"Also, please let us know if you have a dress form that can be used even if you’re not interested in creating a gown yourself," said Watts Hall, in a news release.

Participants will be selected on a first come first served basis.

"Based on the enthusiastic response to this event, we’re expecting a lot of interest, so get your registration in early," said the release.
