NARROWSBURG, NY — Local kids from Brownie Troop #448 gathered at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church to create town holiday decorations. Led by Anie Stanly and Juliette Hermant (proprietor of local business Maison Bergogne) in collaboration with the Narrowsburg Beautification Group, the children crafted “peppermint sticks.” Stanley cut rounds of birch tree, painted them white, and drilled holes in the bottom. The kids used a stencil to paint in the red stripes of the peppermint. Then sticks were inserted into the holes so they could be propped up all around town—in front of the post office and on the Main Street Deck, for example. The troop is for girls ages Kindergarten to third grade and is led by Antonia Nemec, who was on hand.
