With the colder weather and holidays coming, are you looking for some project ideas, handmade gifts to give away, or even a gift for your kids? Did you enjoy Super Saturday last year and want to make some projects similar to those offered there? With the success of “Projects in a Box” this summer, we are offering 5 more boxes. Boxes will include directions and most supplies for the projects listed below. Some examples of household items you may need to provide include glue, scissors, hammer, etc. Boxes are available for anybody to purchase, 4-H and non 4-H families.

How does it work?
Orders are due Tuesday, November 17 (either use the google form and send a check to the courthouse OR use the order form on the last page of this document and mail with your check). This will allow a short amount of time to purchase the supplies and pack the boxes. Supplies may be limited! There will be 2 pick up options on 2 separate dates: Waupaca County Courthouse in Waupaca (Monday, December 7) or the Lebanon Town Hall, north side of New London (Thursday, December 10). Project boxes must be picked up on the appropriate date/location between 4:00-6:00 p.m. These will be no contact pick ups. Only one person should leave the car to pick up the boxes. If you see another family outside to get their boxes, please wait until they return to their car. As we get closer to the pick up date, a confirmation email will be sent to you with a reminder and instructions.
