"This is a really down-to-earth way of starting the Christmas sea- son. What a wonderful way to begin the holiday season with someone reading a story to a captive audi- ence," she says. The reading will be from the origi- nal story Dickens wrote in five "staves" or chapters and performed as an evening's entertainment. In December of 1989, Judy Maddren a broadcaster with CBC Radio and her family had the oppor- tunity to read the complete Christmas Carol. She realized that once we grow up, we usually leave behind the pleasure of being read to, and with that thought, imagined reading "A Christmas Carol" to adults, says the CBC website. With the support of her colleagues at CBC radio, Maddren set about mounting a public reading with music. She organized the first public Susan Hundertmark photo Five-year-old Quinn Fenton of Si.

From that one successful night the event has grown dramatically and now is presented by CBC Radio, in conjunction with local partners, in over 110 communities across Canada (as well as readings in the United States) for the benefit of local charities similar in nature to those Charles Dickens himself pro- moted: children, literacy, less fortu- nate families, education for all, and health care. While the readings have been per- formed throughout Huron County in Goderich, Bayfield and Brussels, this is the first time for Seaforth. Bisback says she jumped at the NOTICE opportunity to get Huron Hospice involved when the reading was held last year in Goderich. "(Goderich Signal -Star editor) Rob Bundy joined us and began by read- ing chapter one. He portrayed the characters in such a wonderful manner, if you closed your eyes you could see them standing right there in the room," she says. The readers from Seaforth include Yvonne Kitchen, Tom Melady, Nick Vandermay and Kim Payne. Bisback says there will be musical performers between each stave, including Melissa Marion on piano, Cheryl St Onge on piano and vocals, as well as vocalist Laura Elligsen. Tickets are $10 each. The Seaforth Lion's Club is pleased to announce Christmas Lighting Displays are again being set-up in Lions Park.
