Or you can make a lantern at home using Secret Lantern instructional YouTube videos Secretlantern.org, or you can also purchase one at the Roundhouse Front Desk Dec. 15-21 (while they last). This is always a sweet time to celebrate with your family and friends so please join us!

LANTERN SALES: Beautiful lanterns are available at the front desk in December. Purchase a lantern ahead of time and join us on Saturday December 21 to celebrate and illuminate the darkest night of the year.
