DIA DE LOS MUERTOS (DAY OF THE DEAD) WORKSHOP A. two day holiday, most often associated with Mexican communities, Dia de los Muertos is a time to reunite the living and the dead. Families and communities create "ofrendas" (altar) to honor those that have passed and to encourage their return at this time of year. Far from a dark and somber occasion, it is a celebration filled with good food, laughter, memories and fun.
On October 31(Saturday), the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will be hosting a Dia de los Muertos workshop at the Cavendish Library, 573 Main St. Proctorsville. From 10-noon there will be a workshop to create items for an ofrenda including: papel picado (paper cuts); paper flowers; ornaments; mask making; vase/candle holders; "sugar skulls" and more.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations welcomed and appreciated. FMI: margocaulfield@icloud.com or 802-226-7807.
