Although the weather outside was frightful, CUC students helped the City of Lacombe kick of the downtown holiday season and light up the night, Thursday, November 17. The Aurora Drumline performed, Choral Union and the Gospel Choir sang, and student pianists provided background music at the indoor farmer's market. "Lacombe is developing its reputation as a university town," said Mark Haynal. "Our participation in events like enhance that growing reputation while allowing our students to have some good, old-fashioned fun as they serve others."
Here's what the Lacombe Globe said about the event: "It's Christmas time! It's time to have fun. It's time to make merry. It's time to shop! To kick off the holiday season, the City of Lacombe is hosting our innaugural Light Up the Night Festival on November 17, 2011. This winter festival aligns with our traditional events like Moonlight Madness Sale and the Tree Lighting Ceremony. New events this year include Tim Horton's Santa Claus Parade, a Movie in the Park, a Community Light Up Contest, prizes and much more!"
In addition to singing Thursday evening, CUC's Choral Union also travelled north to present a sacred concert at the Fort McMurray Seventh-day Adventist Church. (Please see last photo.)
