We discussed attending this festival last night at populace.  Those who have 
gone in the past really like it--Palidore, Vivian, my neighbor Sherry who many 
of you have met, and me, the Chocolate Viking.  Tentative plans are for the 
second performance, 5 p.m. on Sunday.  We wore garb last year which was great 
fun.  Plan on getting there early for parking and seats.

This is a beautiful and elaborately costumed events--very period celebration 
including lots of carols from the time period, dancers, sheperds, wisemen, 
angels, the Holy family, the yule log and the boar's head,etc.  Some years there 
have been live animals such as goats and ducks.  Hand bells, choirs, and musical 
instruments perform from the balconies.  The church is very gothic and is well 
suited for this production. Free but they do take up a free will offering.

If any one is interested, let us know so we can try to sit as a group.
