On Sunday December 10, 2017 we had our annual Christmas Concert & Dinner at Madison Turner Hall. It was a very festive occasion despite the lack of snow on the ground. We had a record crowd for the concert and the dinner afterward. Thanks to everyone who helped plan, set up, take tickets or clean up. Special thanks to Sankt Nikolaus for fitting us into his busy schedule.
Thanks to everyone who attended. We hope to see you again next year!
Here are some photos of the event. As always, click on the thumbnail image to see the full photo.

Setting up in the morning. Bringing in the risers is really no fun at all.
