Havre de Grace Wants Your Old Christmas Cards

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — Havre de Grace is offering residents a way to get rid of old Christmas cards. The city is partnering with the Harford County office of Recycling to collect Christmas cards that people were going to either throw out or recycle.

The plan is to use the cards for a "Christmas in July" event this summer where children will make wooden ornaments out of old Christmas cards.

"We need as many as we can get!" said Harford County Program Manager Wendy Doring, who came up with the idea.

Those who would like to participate can bring their old Christmas cards to Havre de Grace City Hall, 711 Pennington Avenue, or Havre de Grace Activity Center, 351 Lewis Lane.
