Deadline for School Participation in Ornament Project for Festival of Lights
November 20, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Hallet Oak Gallery Sponsors Christmas Fundraiser for Area Schools
The Hallet Oak Gallery is offering a fundraising opportunity that will showcase the talents of young artists in South Central Texas. The Gallery will supply Christmas ornaments for students to decorate. The decorated ornaments will be on display on the Gallery’s Christmas tree and for sale during Hallettsville’s annual Festival of Lights celebration on the square and through the Christmas season.
Participating schools will receive 70% of proceeds from ornament sales. When an ornament is sold the Gallery will replace it on the tree with a photo of the artist’s school and the artist’s first name.
Teachers are asked to contact the Gallery by November 20th to pick up ornaments for their students. Join Hallet Oak Gallery in beginning a new tradition and making this fundraising opportunity a success for your school!
Every Christmas season, the Lavaca County Courthouse is lit with white lights entirely blanketing the entire downtown square — a Hallettsville City tradition since 1996 called Festival of Lights. The Hallet Oak Gallery will be open for the festivities, and every Saturday thereafter from 9 am to 9 pm.
See www.halletoakgallery.com for calendar-of-events. For more information call 361-217-7030 or email venue@halletoakgallery.com.

School Ornament project details:
“Please have ornaments (there is not a limit) delivered to the gallery a one time by the 20th, and have the ornaments tagged with a unique number, school name, student’s first name, and grade, and most importantly, the price (a minimum of $10)
and please supply an inventory sheet that reads:
Inventory Sheet Example:
Main Contact: School, Class teacher name, mailing address, phone, email:
School initials001) Red and white ornament by John S. $10
School initials002) Black and orange ornament by Sara S. $24
Also, please make a school ornament on construction paper that can be hung in place of the ornament once it sells, one per hand-painted ornament.
It could be as simple as the school colors and the school name on it or a photo of the school on it. This will keep the tree from looking bare, and show off the participation.” – Mieko Mahi, Gallery Director, 361-217-7030, mieko@halletoakgallery.com
