Erik & Darcie Barman demonstrated how the leftover palms turn into ashes for Ash Wednesday. He uses a mortar and pestle to grind the burnt palms. The bronze equipment was from his great grandfather, Ole, a 19th century Norwegian pastor,
The palms are piled into a metal ring atop a concrete slab, then burnt to ash. The video of the burning is on our Facebook page.
Once the palms are burnt, they are put into this 1771 bronze mortar then ground into a fine powder with the pestle.

Run by Toni and Karen, this little school became the meeting place for friendships that span decades. Toni and the school continue while mourning Karen's untimely death.
