The Friends & Acquaintances exhibit will also be on display.
Gallery Director Dave Barnes said everyone will enjoy the magical setting of the Gallery during the holidays.
鈥淭his time of year we at the Shafer Gallery like to give a nice gift to all the kids and kids at heart living in the Barton County area,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e love bringing unique experiences to our community so this year we are mixing it up a bit with the 鈥楯uggling and other Nonsense鈥 show put on by the comedy duo Jay and Leslie.听 They have a way with the forces of gravity and never keep you up in the air; at least not for long. It鈥檚 a great way to spend quality time with the family, and of course it is always free.鈥
