Humane Society Calumet Area (HSCA) is accepting orders of holiday wreaths, garland (roping) and swags now through Nov. 18.
The wreaths are fresh and custom-made from Scotch pine by Kingma Christmas Tree Farm in Demotte, Ind. Each wreath is sprayed with a colorant and a solution called “needle hold” for needle retention.
The wreaths come plain or decorated with natural pine cones and a velvet bow. Finished wreath sizes range from 20 in. to 60 in. and garland can only be purchased in whole feet, in lengths between 8 and 50 ft. Swags are approximately 18 in. in length.
