There are many yardsticks by which families measure the official start to the Christmas season: Putting up the tree, lighting the house decorations, participating in the madness of Black Friday or the sudden and almost magical appearance of Christmas oranges at Overweightea. For others, the spirit of Christmas is

imbued in the festive act of singing and the kickoff to the holidays is tied to the first Wednesday in December, when the doors to Nakusp Secondary School are thrown open for the traditional Rotary Christmas Carol Sing. Emcee and local Rotarian Kees van der Pol welcomed guests to the evening of song and music by reveling in the marvel of being able to host the 28th annual carol sing in Nakusp.

NAKUSP’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662

“28 annual Christmas carol sings; it’s truly amazing. This is going to be some night tonight,” Van der Pol exclaimed as he quickly got the ball rolling by leading the enthusiastic audience through the familiar carol, “Jingle Bells.” The program for the festive event was filled with a variety of highlights that showcased local musical talents, with occasional interjections of opportunities for the audi-

ence to share in the singing fun. Performers included the Senior Singers, accompanied on piano by Donna Denning; the Arrow Lakes Community Choir who was joined by the Fauq Singers; and the Arrow Lakes String Ensemble, featuring the talents of Marilyn Massey, Rosemarie Parent, Sheila McGinnis, Tasha Bjarnason, Tom Tatlock and Ruth Orcutt.
