Cookies and Carols, a free holiday event at Hamacher Hall, will take place this Saturday evening, Dec. 3, from 4-6 p.m. Those attending the annual holiday season kick off in Crothersville will enjoy cookies and drinks, hear the reading of the Christmas Story, singing carols, drawings for gift certificates, and Santa reading ‘The Night Before Christmas’ and talking with the children.
At 6 p.m. the event moves outside to the stoplight corner for the lighting of the community Christmas tree.
“The public is welcome to this traditional, family-friendly event,” said spokesperson Brenda Holzworth. “Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult.”
This annual event is sponsored by the Crothersville Historical and Cultural Arts Association.
The following Saturday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m., there will be a Dinner Theater in celebration of Indiana’s December 11 bicentennial birthday.
The Dinner menu includes ham, macaroni & cheese, green beans, cottage cheese, dinner roll, birthday cake, and drinks. There will also be a Christmas auction fundraiser during this event, said Holzworth.
