ETC.
Candle shop workshop
The Candle Shop at Historic Washington State Park, 103 Franklin St., Washington (Hempstead County), hosts a candle-making workshop, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday that includes a segment on the history of candle-making; participants can take home their creations. Attendees must be 12 or older. There will be a one-hour break for lunch (on your own). Cost is $25 per person and reservations are required — call (870) 983-2684.
Santa, booked
Santa Claus will be spending at least part of the weekend at the Argenta Library, 420 Main St., North Little Rock, under the aegis of the North Little Rock Public Library System.
For “Furry Photos with Santa,” 6-8 p.m. Friday, he’ll be on hand for free photos with pets. (“Holiday bandanas and festive attitudes are highly encouraged,” according to a news release, presumably for pets though it might also apply to owners.)
And 10 a.m.-noon on Saturday, families can head to the library for what the release describes as “warm pancakes, cozy vibes and a picture‑perfect moment with Santa.”
Admission to both events is free. Call (501) 758‑1720 or visit NLRLibrary.org.
