JHP Ornament Contest and Fundraiser Submission Period

We are so excited to announce that an old tradition - the annual ornament contest and fundraiser - is back for its second year in a row!

We invite members of the community to create and donate a handcrafted ornament to be featured in the competition and made available for sale to raise money for the Historical Society’s 2026 community programming. This year, we will also bring back the special youth category for kids aged 5-13.

Here are some additional details:

-Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the adult category, and for first place in the youth category.

-Submissions will be accepted beginning November 13 through December 4.

-Winners will be announced, and ornaments will be available for sale starting December 6.

We can't wait to see all the creations!
