Enchanting Christmas Program at the Library

Under the theme “Once upon a Christmas” a well visited and enchanting Christmas
program took place at the library on Thursday December 17 2009

There was the traditional Christmas market on which a host of local crafters, bakers and
artisans displayed their wares and creations. Offered for sale were baked goods, hand made
Christmas tree decorations, greeting cards, paintings locally made juices and liquors.

In the hall both children and adults were entertained with a cultural program packed with local celebrities.  
As part of the children’s program the choir of the sixth graders of the Mac’s Browlia Mailard Campus performed
Christmas carols.  Young Shakirah Cornett did a a poem and another young girl, Jenette Anicette performed a
Christmas dance. Mrs. Rita Carty read the Christmas story and of course Santa Claus visited the children with his
sock full of sweets.
