Wisconsin State Day Report

A state day is a fun-filled day of creating, learning, making new friends, connecting with old friends and having a great time.

The first Wisconsin State Day in many years was held May 9, 2009.  The day was hosted by the Lakeshore Miniature Makers of Sheboygan, WI.  The project for the day was the setting for the front door area of a house.  Mini decorations can be easily changed for the season, holiday, occasion or to show personal interests.

Thanks to the generosity of many people  . . drawings were held for more than 40 State Day Helpers; door prizes were given to everyone (some received two); more than 60 tote bag favors (many to be used in the setting) were given to all; ‘surprises’ (extras) were given to everyone throughout the day.

Some comments from attendees . . .
