The inaugural ‘Light up the Holidays’ night at the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre proved to be a big winter hit with a sold-out attendance.
The evening was filled with activities for the entire family and all ages.
Little explorers could create Reindeer Feed Treat Bags for Santa’s team or, in the General Store, make Christmas Emergency Soup Jars that could be a gift to be enjoyed over the holidays.
For the young artists, colouring Christmas artwork to take home was popular.
Outside at the historic log cabin, where a myriad of lights created a winter wonderland, visitors were able to have a family ‘Hallmark’ photo taken by professional photographer John White.
Inside, aboard the ship the HMS General Hunter in the Marine gallery, author Doug Archer read a captivating excerpt from his recent book in the series of the Cold Case Kids adventures.
Just released, the Dead Man’s Tale – The Mystery of the Lost Riches of Chantry Island leads little readers (and their parents) into a mysterious world that can only be solved by the ‘Kids’ and their ‘Zombie’ friend.
Upstairs in the Bruce Power Theatre, the popular Celtic Academy Canada dancers performed a variety of dances but not before they were surprised by a visit from Santa.
Downstairs, everyone had the chance to sit and relax over a hot chocolate, tea or coffee served up by the Rabbit Dash Cafe, or enjoy a glass of wine at the Museum’s holiday bar (for adults).
Overall, the evening was a resounding successful beginning to the holiday season at the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre.
