KILLINGLY — A fun filled night of holiday shopping, family fun, and activities took place on Thursday, Dec. 6, at Killingly Intermediate School for “Holiday Family Night.” The halls of KIS were full of activities, as children and their parents wondered from classroom to classroom, stopping at hallway table displays, spending time making crafts, singing songs, and playing games. More than 20 vendors were on site selling hand- made jewelry, soaps, crafts, fashion accessories, toys, kettle corn, baked goods and many other home products. There were more than 25 raffles to choose from as well. One special activity that took place dur- ing the Holiday Family Night was called “Make Someone’s Day — Send a Letter to a Soldier.” Students wrote letters to a troop overseas via a teacher at the ele- mentary school, and were able to send cards and letters to soldiers here in the United States that are currently hospitalized. The event was put on by the Killingly PTO. The extraordinary sixth grade flute chorus plays a selection of holiday tunes.

The cafeteria was wall-to-wall with crafters, as people milled around look- Aaliyah Jefferson, 10, and Lizzie Cabana, 10, stand together inside a hula hoop- get- FFA member Kristie Alexander, 14, sits behind her table selling goat milk chap ing at what each table had to offer. ting ready for hoping with Judy. sticks.

DANIELSON — On Friday, Dec. 7, Saturday, Dec. 8, and Sunday, Dec. 9, the Little Theatre on Broad Street presented the 6th Annual Christmas Cabaret, a family favorite holiday performance. The show featured about 40 holiday songs spread out over two acts, and showcased about 80 local area children ages 4 and up. The show began with music from “The Polar Express,” where audi- ence members could see the conduc- tor come out on stage, talking and singing, while cast members filled the auditorium from the back. In between numbers, families got up and told audience members about their family holiday traditions. Preparation for the holiday show is a month-long process, and the show proved not to disappoint with numbers like “The Island of Misfit Toys,” “A Hard Candy Christmas,” and “Mary Did You Know?” This year’s director was Scott White, with Kelly Gazzola as Music Director and Theater Manager, Meryl E. Willett photos Allegra Plantier as Assistant Sarah Jillian Ormerod and her mother share a family tradition. Director.
