As part of state government's celebration of the holidays, a very large Christmas tree will soon be placed in the rotunda of the Indiana Statehouse. Students can help bring the holiday tree to life by transforming their favorite seasonal memories into ornamental storybooks.
Write about your favorite "Christmas memories" in tiny handcrafted books and submit them by mailing or delivering decorations to the Statehouse Tour Office located at 200 W. Washington St., Room 220, Indianapolis, IN, 46204.
Submitted storybook ornaments will be hung on the Statehouse tree at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Selected stories will be featured on Daniels' website at www.in.gov/gov/firstlady.
Certain guidelines should be followed when constructing books:
* Decorations should be no larger than 8 inches square;
* Decorations may contain short stories of up to 300 words;
* Decorations should be made out of non-breakable or non-perishable materials like construction paper, poster board, pipe cleaners, wood, yarn and photographs;
* Decorations should have hooks or fasteners attached; and
* Decorations should be labeled with names of students and their schools.
Mail or deliver decorations to the Statehouse Tour Office located at 200 W. Washington St., Room 220, Indianapolis, IN, 46204. Please keep in mind storybook ornaments will not be returned.
