Unique Christmas Tree at Jean Lafitte Center

The Acadian Prairie Cultural Center was the place to be Saturday as children, 6-10 years of age, named hand-crafted, home-made ornaments on the cultural center’s Christmas Tree. They were also able to hand-craft their own Christmas ornaments made of different supplies from home (rick-rack, buttons, sequins, craft sticks, ribbon, and more). Pictured above are Park Ranger Claudia Wood showing off a clothes-pin reindeer fashioned ornament to Alexis Ortego, left, Joelee LaFleur and Ella Trakas. The Christmas tree featured ornaments of popcorn rings, paper mache chains, yarn ornaments, yarn angels, popsicle stick reindeers, pinecones, thread-spooled ornaments and much more.
