TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY AND HOLIDAY PARTY
Sunday, Dec. 2, 6 p.m.
Join us at the library for the annual Tree Lighting
Ceremony and Holiday Party, held in partnership

Department. Festivities will include lighting the
Township tree outside at 6 p.m., followed by caroling.
We will have refreshments, visits with Santa, and
crafts for children in the library. It’s a wonderful way
to get in the holiday spirit and spend time with family
and friends! MUSIC FROM A CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS
Sunday, Dec. 9, 1:30 to 3 p.m.
Join us to welcome back the folk group “Acoustic
Shadows of the Blue and Gray”. This is an excellent
opportunity to listen to songs as they would have been
authentically played during the Civil War. Dressed in
period uniforms, the group performs a repertoire
of songs not often heard and gives chance for a
sing-along with the band. Walt Klorczyk, facilitator
of the Civil War Round Table, brings this popular
Civil War holiday program to the Peters
Township Community.
