The DeKalb Christmas Tree!

Last week, The DeKalb Area Agricultural Heritage Association, Inc. had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce Holiday Open House.  In celebration of the event, Kate Koski, a DAAHA member kindly donated a "DEKALB Ag" themed Christmas Tree! 




The tree boasts many unique ornaments celebrating the rich history of the organization and local agricultural from corn cob salt shakers-turned-ornaments to handmade cornhusk snowmen, to cow tags! 









Our cornhusk Angel guarding a winged ear of corn even adorns the top!  



Kate, her sister Ann (our V.P), and I had such a great time decorating.   We are not officially open yet, but we hope you can make it by the museum this month to take a look at it!  As a bonus you'll get a sneak peak at our upcoming exhibits scheduled to open on January 8, 2012!
