Published November 03, 2009 10:01 am - Nov. 3, 2009 Ring in the season The Tahlequah school choirs are starting to sell their scrumptuous holiday tea rings. By TRAVINA COLEMAN Press Staff Writer
The enticing smell of baking pastry, wafting from the Greenwood Elementary cafeteria in the late afternoon, is a sure sign the holidays are just around the corner. This week, the Tahlequah High School and Middle School choirs kicked off their highly anticipated annual tea ring sale, and fans are already lining up to purchase the sweet concoctions. More than 30 choir students gathered at Greenwood to begin twisting dough into cinnamon rolls, stringing them together in rings, and slathering them with icing, before topping them off with cherries and pecans. Monday evening, choir members were bustling around the cafeteria, rolling dough, baking, icing, and wrapping the popular holiday pastries. “The first two are in,” one student yelled, prompting a celebration in the kitchen as the pastries slid into the oven.. Pattie Clay, THS senior, is a member of select choir, Tiger Choir and Show Choir. “I have been doing this for three years,” Clay said. “It’s a lot of fun. I mean, it’s messy, but fun.” She and other select choir students cook up the tea rings to help fund trips to competition in Texas. “The middle school students will go to Dallas,” said Margie Green, THS choir director. “The high school will compete in San Antonio.” And Clay loved the last trip to the home of the Alamo. “It was amazing,” she said. “I can’t wait to go again.” Green said the fundraiser has been going on for more than 30 years. “We have people anticipating the begin of tea ring sales,” she said. “It’s always a great success.” She expected to make close to 300 tea rings before Monday’s session came to a close.
