Christmas, on the other hand, started a week or so ago, judging by appearances anyway. So yes, Teven though any number of kids have yet to consume the last vestiges of their trick-or-treat bags, that is a real Christmas tree on our cover. For Christmas, you see, waits for no man. Or child. Or decently sized Midwestern city, for that matter. Accordingly, businesses and civic organizations all over northeast Indiana are creating Douglas fir and Scotch pine masterpieces as the venerable Embassy Theatre prepares to deck its halls with an incredible array of yuletide splendor. It’s the Festival of Trees, and it kicks off the Embassy’s 90th anniversary year right around Thanksgiving time. As is our wont, we’re out of the gate early with Steve Penhollow’s cover story on page 4 of this issue. Saturday, Nov. 25 • 8pm • $15-$30 Not quite as seasonal, but still well worth checking out, are our other two features this week: Deb Gerbers’ preview of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s ‘The Art of Hair’ event on page 5 and, on the following page, Michele DeVinney’s REGGAE FEST 2017 profile of up-and-coming country music star Chris Janson who will be playing featuring STANN CHAMPION & Nov. 9 & 10 | 8pm Fort Wayne’s Rusty Spur the weekend prior to Thanksgiving.
