Every year, the Girl Scouts host a traditional holiday sing-along. Organizers asked me to clarify that you don’t have to be a Girl Scout family to join them. Anyone with children is welcome to come sing.

The Girl Scouts will celebrate on the Community House lawn from 6:30 -7:30 pm. There will also be hot cocoa and treats to cap off the evening.

The event takes place even in rain or snow (unless conditions are unsafe).

In my experience, that hasn’t dampened the carolers’ spirits. So, if it does rain, just break out your umbrellas and boots, then head to the Community House for an evening of fun.
