CANTON, Ohio (November 7, 2013) - There isn't always ritual in life anymore, but for the members of the Symphony League of Canton, there's nothing better than combining their organization's tradition with the tradition of the holiday season.

The Symphony League of Canton was organized in 1963 to provide support for the Canton Symphony Orchestra. For more than 25 years, the Symphony League of Canton has offered holiday wreaths for sale as a fundraising effort. Proceeds from the sale of the beautiful wreaths and the hand-crafted bows are used to help support the educational outreach programs of the Canton Symphony, such as the Youth Symphony, SymphonyLand and Kinder Concerts, among others.

Donna Leibensperger has chaired the effort since 1994. She notes, "Every year I receive comments from new recipients of the wreaths wondering where they can get more of these for their friends and family. They are excited to receive them because they are so unique. Their pine scent combined with their beauty make this a really easy gift choice."

The long-lasting, large, beautiful wreaths are made in Oregon of Noble Fir with gold cedar, berried juniper and large pine cones. Wreaths are available with or without the hand-crafted bows. Each wreath costs $33 and the bows, either red or burgundy, are $4 each.

All orders are prepaid. Credit card orders can be placed by phone at 330-452-3434, ext. 605 or checks made out to the Symphony League of Canton can be mailed to Canton Symphony Orchestra, 1001 Market Avenue North, Canton, OH 44702. The deadline for orders is Friday, November 16.

Wreaths will be ready for pick-up on Saturday, November 30 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Canton Museum of Art loading dock entrance facing Cleveland Avenue. All those who ordered wreaths will receive a reminder postcard of the wreath pick-up date.

Founded in 1937, the Canton Symphony Orchestra is a fully professional ensemble and organization dedicated to performing concerts that enrich, educate and entertain. Under the direction of Gerhardt Zimmermann, the orchestra performs classical, pops, holiday, and educational programs. Most performances are in Umstattd Performing Arts Hall, 2323 17th Street NW, Canton, Ohio (at McKinley High School across from C.T. Branin Natatorium). Parking at McKinley High School is free.
