NEWS RELEASE
FALSTAFF FAMILY CENTRE
**************************
To help get children and families into the holiday spirit, the Falstaff Family Centre (FFC) is inviting the community to its annual Cookies & Carols event Wednesday Dec. 11 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. (Doors open at 6 p.m.)
The event will be hosted by Michael Fox, with carols, music and readings by Loreena McKennitt, as well as Gemini Award-winning actor Cedric Smith, who will narrate a portion of A Child’s Christmas in Wales, by Dylan Thomas. Santa Claus himself will make an appearance at 7:15 p.m. and there will be lots of carol singing in between with everyone invited to join in. Cookies and beverages will also be on offer.
“This is a cherished tradition we love hosting for the community,” says McKennitt, owner and director of the FFC. “We look forward to seeing people again in person and enjoying the spirit of the season.”
The event is free but donations will be gratefully accepted for Optimism Place, Women's Shelter and Support Services.
The FFC has been hosting the Cookies & Carols event on and off, as time and circumstances have allowed, since McKennitt bought the former school in 2000.
