Walpole! What a Town to Live In!
Congratulations to Walpole Players' Co-Directors Ray Boas and Tara Sad for their magnificent production of "A Christmas Carol" that opened its three-night run in Town Hall last night! Everything about it was the best imaginable that a small town can be from Ray's inspired adaptation of Dickens' classic to the terrific set built by Bill Perron to the talented cast led by Jim Skofield as a masterful Charles Dickens himself!
It's a shame that space doesn't allow my naming every member of the cast and crew, but I urge you to make your way through the snow and attend this great event if you possibly can tonight or tomorrow. The tickets ARE sold out, I understand, but the weather may prevent a few from coming and more tickets might be available at around 6:45 p.m. (Oh, and I should remind you that tickets are FREE but you'll be asked to make a cash or check donation to the Fall Mountain Food Shelf in the amount that you choose. You could even do that if you don't get to the play!)
Also, I remind you that the Walpole Farmers Holiday Market is set for 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. tomorrow at the Town Hall. I understand there will be as many as 25 stalls with locally produced agricultural products with emphasis on seasonal items. Don't let the snow keep you away!
Finally, Walpole School's Principal Sam Jacobs reports that the school will be having a special assembly Tuesday afternoon, December 23 at 2:00 p.m. culminating the school's first "Caring & Giving Month" involving all the school's students. Students at the assembly will report on their successes in performing acts of kindness during the month and collecting canned goods, mittens & hats, and cash donations and they'll report where all the collected items are going. The public is invited to attend. CCB
