As you take down your holiday decorations this year, please consider donating unwanted artificial trees and decorations that are still in good condition to the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center. Decorations could include (but are not limited to) garlands, wreaths, table displays, ornaments, ribbons, white lights, etc.
Each year, the center hosts a Holiday Open House as a part of the Minnetrista Luminaria Walk. During this 2-day event, the community can tour the beautifully decorated Ball family home, listen to musicians, learn about the house and the family history, and watch local artisan demonstrations. More than 2,500 people visited the mansion during this year's event. This is just one opportunity the center provides to preserve the Ball family history and to recognize their contributions to our community.
If you have something you’d like to donate, please contact Diane Watters at 285-8975 or ebball@bsu.edu.
