AUBURN —

Come out and celebrate this festive season with Auburn Area Community Theatre (AACT) and the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center at the third annual “Holiday Walk in the Woods” on Dec. 16 and 17.

This event has become a popular way to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. In the spirit of community, AACT and the Kreher Preserve are hosting a special presentation of music and traditions from our community — “Holiday Walk in the Woods.” Performers, such as Auburn High Vocal Jazz, AU Chamber Choir and other local talent, will be stationed along a decorated and lit path in the piney winter woods while small groups walk with a guide at staggered entry times. Performers at six to eight stations along the path will share a song, spoken word or other performance representative of their holiday traditions with the groups. The tour is roughly one hour long. At the end of the path, treats from local bakers and a craft station await as groups return to the parking area.

All performances will be family-friendly, and rumor has it there will even be snow. Performance blocks are scheduled with start times for Dec. 16 and 17 from 5 to 6:50 p.m., and Dec. 17 from 10 to 11:50 a.m.

Each small group will have a maximum of 15 people unless an entire time slot is purchased. If the entire slot is purchased for your family and friends, the group can have up to 20 people. Tickets are on sale now and should be purchased in advance. Tickets are $7 each or $75 for an entire slot. For more information about this event or to purchase tickets, please visit www.auburnact.org.

Enchanting decorations, lighting and crafts are made possible for the event by local sponsors. Contact AACT if you are interested in being a sponsor, performer or volunteer at info@auburnact.org.
