On Sunday, December 14th at 1pm, Society member Jack Nordby will return for an encore performance of his recital of the Dylan Thomas classic, “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” at the historical society’s museum at Bug Light Park. "A Child's Christmas in Wales" is a light, much-loved, almost lyrical tale of childhood Christmas memories. Filled with alliteration, this 25-minute star of Thomas' work is best heard aloud for the "music" in the words.
Jack has performed this annual recital for us for many years and it is always a pleasant and relaxing interlude to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon during the holiday season. We are so pleased that he will return to bless us with a repeat performance. Make sure and mark the date on your calendar so you won’t miss this special event.
This is a free event, open to the public. To reach the museum, take Broadway east to the ocean, turn left onto Breakwater Drive, then right on Madison Street that leads right into the park. For GPS users, enter 1 Madison Street to obtain nearest directions. For more information, call 767-7299.
