Prepare for the evening: 
If you call Michiana home, you can pick up a supply kit with all the materials you’ll need to make each ornament during the program. Each kit contains supplies for four people. A limited number of kits will be available. Pick-up is available on Sunday, December 6, from 12:00–3:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Compton Family Ice Arena. Drive up to the bus shelter and we’ll bring the kit to your car.
