Old-Fashioned Christmas celebration in Medicine Lodge Sunday evening
December 11, 2019
Take time out during this bustling holiday season to enjoy a few hours of an "Old Fashioned Christmas" celebration in Medicine Lodge at the Heritage Center this Sunday evening starting at 6:30. The evening is presented by the Greater Barber County Historical Action Association.
The kids will love the visit from Santa Claus. Bringing Christmas cheer and beautiful music are Joyful Noise, a Christian group that performs in a five-county area. "They are very good," board member and resident play director Matt Thom said. He added, "We are also blessed to have the local talents of soloists Miss Sophie Dawson and Mr. Carson Cargill."
Following Santa's visit, The Heritage Players will present the Christmas skit "An Old-Fashioned Christmas Tale," which Thom said is both heartwarming and funny. The skit is centered around residents of a retirement center who think Christmas has become too commercial and they wish for an old-fashioned Christmas. The Spirit of Christmas comes down and grants them their wish, but it was not quite what they remembered – the microwave becomes a wood stove with a pile of wood waiting to be chopped; the bathroom disappears and an outhouse springs up in the backyard, etc. They learn chopping down a Christmas tree isn't as simple as it was in the good old days. Quickly, the seniors' next wish is to return to modern day.
Light refreshments will be served at this Christmas celebration. Children under 12 years are admitted free with a small admission for adults. The Heritage Center is located at 1056 SE Isabel Rd., Medicine Lodge, Kansas, at the corner of U.S. Highway 160 and Isabel Road.
"Please make time to join us for a beautiful evening of entertainment celebrating the season," Thom said.
