13th Annual Holiday Wreath Sale
The chilly nip in the air and recent snowfall remind us that it is time to plan on the holiday season before us. For members of the Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society, it will soon be time to gather white pine, cedar, juniper, boxwood, holly, herbs, berries and pine cones. We bring them together in our beautiful and fragrant holiday wreaths for our annual fundraiser.
