Now that we're well rested...

Hey Walker Street Fiddlers!

 

Are you all well fed and ready for our biggest weeks of the year? I hope all of you enjoyed a little time off, family gatherings, food, football and shopping over the Thanksgiving holiday. Now that we're well rested...

 

Tomorrow night is our monthly performance at McPherson's. We hope you will be able to come out for a fun beginning to our busy December schedule. This will be our last McPherson's until January, so I know you won't want to miss it!

 

I am emailing today to see if I can find out exactly when we play next weekend at the Camelot Christmas festival. I have been looking for shirts online that we could wear to be at least a little "stylish" for the event. Most are around $30, so I sent some emails to see if we could find some to borrow or rent. Scott is checking at the Day School for costuming. I'll also check some rental places in town. I figured if the boys just had shirts with their jeans or whatever and the girls had peasant skirts, we would be okay. Hopefully, I'll have more info about this weekend at McPherson's tomorrow.

 

Camelot Christmas Festival, Saturday, State Fairgrounds in Raleigh

    (This event lasts from 10:00 AM till 6:00 PM Both days. I will get actual performance times as soon as they are available to us!)

 

Camelot Christmas Festival...Sunday

 

THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR ANY MORE PLAYERS AT THE CANDLE TEA, BUT WE CAN USE ANYONE WHO CAN BE THERE ON SATURDAY AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY FOR THE FESTIVAL.

 

We will have our ornaments and scarves for sale at the festival. We will sell raffle tickets this weekend and do the final drawing for the bodhran on Sunday. We'll have cider...I think. I am planning to be there both days all day and any parent who wants to help is most welcome as early as you want to arrive and as late as you want to stay! I know it will help your planning to have the WSF performance times, so stay tuned for that information.

 

Last thing, I have 200 Papa John's coupon cards that you can begin to sell as your next family fundraiser. I can apply the earnings from these sales as a credit toward your individual family's trip invoices. We can run this fundraiser as long as we want, so just let me know how many cards you want to start with and when you need more!

 

Heads up about the citrus fruit orders... We were promised delivery the first week of December, so I am expecting to get the call the week following the festival. As soon as I have the date, I'll pass it on! We'll appreciate your help unloading the truck from those of you who can respond on short notice.

 

Thanks so much for your great response for these upcoming events. I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow at McPherson's!
