Beginning at 9 a.m. daily through Wednesday, the Mtn. View Garden Club is hosting its annual Swag Workshop at the Mtn. View Community Center on First Street. ”With the help of both young and old, 80 of these beautiful evergreen decorations are created and then hung by our city workers throughout the city for everyone's enjoyment during the Christmas season,” said Robi Tanner with the club. This morning, club and community members first met to cover the hall floor with tarps and set up work tables, then began making 5-foot-tall decorations. They expected to work until about 4 or 5, said Tanner, and will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The swag assembly will continue Wednesday, and the day will be ended by cleaning the community center. Volunteers are fed a “hot and hearty lunch,” said Tanner, and any time given is appreciated. Those wishing to help are asked to bring gloves, scissors, pruners and pliers, labeled with the owner’s name. For more information, call Tanner at 573-292-3000.
