CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A series of hands-on wreath-making workshops will take place Dec. 4-6 in South Charleston and Milton.

"We're adding additional dates and locations this year to ensure that everyone interested has a chance to participate."

Workshops will take place from 10 a.m. to noon and 4 to 7 p.m. Dec. 4 and from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 5 at the Pumpkin Park, 1 Pumpkin Way, Milton. An additional workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 6 at Rock Lake Community Life Center, 801 Lincoln Drive, South Charleston.
