Houston Ukrainians decorate tree at Museum of Natural Science

HOUSTON - The Ukrainian American Cultural Club of Houston once again decorated a tree that is on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The theme for this year is "Chocolate" in reference to the next big art exhibit that's coming to the museum. The UACCH tree - titled "Sweet Treats from a Ukrainian Kitchen" - features gingerbread Kozaks, round kolachi, paper candy, and sweet breads with white icing sprinkled with silver beads and draped with rushnyky (a close-up is seen above). The UACCH club members who decorated the tree are Joan and Phil Brandt and Larisa Scates, with significant help from Ms. Scates' neighbor, Jay Oats.
