GRAVENHURST CHRISTMAS VARIETY SHOW FOR FOOD BANK

In the spirit of goodwill, neighborliness and community pride, local entertainers, musicians and dancers, will once again reunite, as is becoming a Gravenhurst Christmas tradition, to stage a special variety show, at the Opera House, Saturday, December 18th. The fundraiser is for the Salvation Army.

With a longstanding commitment to assisting the Salvation Army Food Bank, to help its clients throughout the year, Andrew and Robert Currie, have been bringing together a talented array of local performers, to fill the Opera House with Christmas merriment. The annual December get-together will once again be directed by Master of Ceremonies, Fred Schulz, who will treat guests with a reading of “The Night Before Christmas.”

There will be special performances offered by the “Just 4 Kicks Dance Studio,” of Gravenhurst, and music students of Andrew and Robert Currie, plus traditional Christmas-time appearances by well known performer Ginger Graham, with a special medley of Christmas songs, and his memorable commentary of which the audience adores, plus talented guitarists / singers, Ray Parsons, Mark Wigston and Jon O’Connor.

There is no admission cost to the event. The hosts ask instead for donations of non perishable food items, a cash donation, or both at the door, the evening of the event. If you can’t offer either, that’s okay. You’re welcome to attend regardless, courtesy the event sponsors, which include Peter’s Players, Just 4 Kicks Dance Studio, Andrew Currie’s Music and Collectibles, Robert Currie’s Music, Gravenhurst Classic Car Wash, Birch Hollow Antiques, and the Probus Club of Gravenhurst.

The Opera House will open at 6:15 p.m. and the show commences at 7 p.m.

For more information about the event you can drop in to Andrew’s Music on Muskoka Road, opposite the Opera House, or call either 644-0804, or 644-2192. If you can’t attend the variety night but wish to donate to the event regardless, you can drop off items at their main street business.

Please help support the kind work of the Salvation Army and their Food Bank volunteers, who have benefitted our community for so many years, in so many ways!
