South Arts Series: Holiday Baking
An event every week that begins at 4:30 pm on Monday, repeating until December 8, 2025

In the fall series of South Arts, we will bake, pull, stir, boil, and candy traditional Appalachian treats, perfect for the holidays at Pine Mountain Settlement School. Join us each Monday as kids will be led how to make a dessert by a visiting chef. The kids will get to taste as we go along and even take some home to share. Some of the desserts we might make include peanut butter pie, pull candy, buckeyes, peanut butter roll, peppermint bark, sugar cookies, and more! Stick around after the class for a free dinner! Classes are in the Draper Building at 4:30 p.m.
