For one of our church Relief Society Activities we decided to have a speaker on Food Storage. What an important topic, that most of us can all do better at, but so boring and BLAH. The question was how do we spice up the topic and make it exciting???? After tossing around a few different ideas, we decided to stick with a rustic theme and create a "Trail Mix Bar".
The decoration was simple, but created the perfect feel for the night. CUTE and RUSTIC. We gathered all the glass jars we could locate from our committee members to display all the different foods. The green chevron table cloths were perfect for the rustic feeling. We added lights and stumps of wood (in different heights) that helped to elevate and create different levels for a fun look. Our banner was was made from card stock and jute. Finally, we wrapped the jute around quart size canning jars to use as vases.
We decided to use ice cream cones as the dish or holder for the trail mix. We offered popcorn, pretzels, coconut, licorice, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanuts, m&m's, rice and corn chex cereal, almonds, craisins, and banana chips. We served lemonade and water to drink.
A trail mix bar could be created and adapted for any fun party or activity you are having.
