This is a free program sponsored by the Friends of Curry Campus and will be held in the Community Room on Southwestern’s Curry Campus, 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway (off Highway 101), Brookings. Bring a friend and a brown bag lunch.
What if you could wander through the streets of the most beautiful old cities of Europe, drinking mulled wine and filling your basket with Christmas gifts and décor? Marilyn Hart, has made this trip four times since 2007 and describes herself as a Christmas crazy person. Hart will share these experiences during her talk. She will display Christmas glassworks, carousels, embroidery and quilts, as well as share photos of Vienna, Nuremberg, London, York, and cities in Germany, Slovenia, and Hungry.
Christmas is a favorite time of year for Hart and each trip has been a learning experience, that is, learning about ethnic Christmas traditions, food, art and architecture. Hart’s travel includes seven trips to London as well as travel to all 50 states. Hart is a Professor Emeritus of University of Wisconsin and teaches Statistics at the Curry Campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College.
