As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to think about the holiday cheer that the 24th Annual Friends of the Smoky Hill Museum’s Poinsettia & Wreath Sale brings to many. The most beautiful, nursery-quality poinsettias available in the area, the Museum’s Poinsettias are guaranteed to brighten any décor, cheer up loved ones and reduce holiday decorating stress. Also available for pre-order are fresh, long-lasting greenery wreaths handmade by BEL Tree Farm, starting at $20 for a 22-inch wreath.
