Collin County Farm Museum hosted holiday craft workshops, boosted seasonal programming

The Collin County Farm Museum welcomed local residents on December 10 for a day of seasonal, hands on programming designed for teens and families. Teen Gift Making Day ran in two sessions from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A POP UP Stained Glass Santa workshop took place that evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, creating a two hour overlap between the evening teen session and the stained glass activity. The museum continues a regular public open schedule through December 17 at the Myers Park and Event Center.

County staff list these events on the museum calendar with dates and start and end times, and invite visitors to attend public open days or scheduled workshops. For residents seeking more information or wishing to arrange a private tour or a bespoke workshop the museum provides an email contact at ccfm@collincountytx.gov.

These kinds of programs serve multiple local functions. They provide hands on learning opportunities that connect younger residents with craft skills and local heritage, they offer family friendly activities during the holiday season, and they help sustain the museum as a community hub. Seasonal workshops can also support modest increases in weekend visitation to parks and event centers, channeling local household spending into attractions and related retail or food services in the immediate area.

For local officials and planners the continued scheduling of public workshops and open days signals ongoing investment in cultural programming at county operated facilities. Maintaining regular hours through mid December keeps the museum available as a destination for residents and visitors during a critical period for community events and tourism. Collin County residents interested in attending future workshops or arranging private group visits should contact the museum directly at ccfm@collincountytx.gov for details and scheduling.
