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.
