Ornament-themed Saturday Club set for December at the Tate

An ornament-themed Saturday Club is scheduled for December, with participants making their own dinosaur ornaments. The December session is limited to 20 participants and will take place Saturday, Dec. 6, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the museum.

Led by Russell Hawley, Tate Geological Museum education specialist, participants will make and decorate their creations. “Designs available include the sleek sauropod, the mighty mammoth, or the toothy tyrannosaur,” said Hawley. Participants are invited to make one or all three. “For the more advanced or adventurous participants, we will also have patterns and scissors on hand if you want to try your hand at cutting and folding your own,” Hawley noted.

Supplies to decorate the finished ornaments, including beads, glitter, sequins, yarn, crayons, and markers will be provided. “Participants will be able to take their ornaments home to deck their halls,” Hawley said.

Saturday Club is free and open to children ages 7-14. The Tate Geological Museum is located at the southern end of the Casper College campus. Look for the life-size T. rex bronze near the Tate or call the museum at 307-268-2447 for more information.
