This show features choir and band students from the middle and high schools. Tickets are $25.00 and are available at the local banks, chamber of commerce, and the TOHS Museum.

As Bing Crosby says in the Irving Berlin musical “Holiday Inn”, “the Holidays just mean more performances”. There’s plenty to enjoy this Christmas season in Blackwell.
