An Evening with the Belsnickel

A family-friendly holiday event at the Smith-Harris House

Thursday, December 17th

6 pm; admission is a non-perishable food item to benefit Care & Share, Inc

Escape the frenzy of holiday preparations and join the Smith-Harris House for an evening of family-friendly festivities! Children of all ages are welcome to make an old-fashioned tree ornament, join musician Judy MacDonald around a cozy fire to sing carols, and meet our kindly Belsnickel! A “Belsnickel,” or “St. Nicholas in fur,” was a German folk tradition that preceded the modern Santa Claus, and our Belsnickel will share a winter’s tale and hand out a treat to each of our young visitors! Afterwards, enjoy a sip of cocoa and gingersnaps. For more information, call (860) 739-0761, email director@smithharris.org or visit our website at www.smithharris.org.
