BCAC Events - Monday and Tuesday

WINDSOR - Bertie County Arts Council is offering children and adults two evenings of fun this week.

The first comes Monday, December 19th at 6:30 PM at Windsor Community Building with "Spend An Evening With Santa", when children of all ages will get a chance to whisper in the jolly man's ear what they want for Christmas. This event has always been held at the Arts Council, but the gathering has grown until more space was needed.

This year the Largest Elf from the North Pole will help Santa entertain children and if time allows, either Santa or Mrs. Claus may read a Christmas story to children. Santa usually brings his dog to visit children. This event is open to the public and is free. Refreshments will be served.

The second event will be Tuesday evening, December 20th at 7:30 PM at the Bertie Senior Center (behind YMCA). when BCAC's first Youth Show Choir performs a concert of Holiday Music.

Seventeen children from public, private and home-schooling classes auditioned to be included in this performance. They have been rehearsing for the concert with retired music teachers Fonda Sanderlin and Marsha Smithwick, both of Windsor, since September.

Refreshments will be served. An entrance fee of $2 for adults and $1 for children will be accepted at the door.
