The last month of the year has finally arrived. We become busy with holiday shopping, festivities, cooking and decorating. It is a good time to relax and de-stress by going to the theater. It’s time to create new family traditions. I coordinate the annual Dickens Faire at the McHenry Museum and invite community members to volunteer their time to enrich the event with their enthusiasm. Dancers from Central West Ballet will perform in costume to music from The Nutcracker. Ken White, a local author, will be in attendance to sign his books. Come decorate an ornament, ice a cookie and listen to holiday stories while exploring the McHenry Museum between 9 AM and noon.
