Christmas Caroling at the Hoffman Center

Get in the holiday spirit plus help the Food Bank

The Hoffman Center in Manzanita will host a Christmas Carol Sing Along Thursday evening, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. Community members young to old are invited to attend and lend their voices to the occasion. Musicians will be on hand to accompany the singing.

 “We’ll be doing all the favorites — from holiday classics like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Jingle Bells” to hymns like “Silent Night” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” said organizer Chip MacGregor. “There will be holiday snacks, hot apple cider, and a chance to break out those Christmas favorites from long ago.”

 The event is free, but donations to the North County Food Bank – money or non-perishable foods – can be brought to the Center that evening.

 MacGregor added, “This will be a great opportunity for everybody to rub shoulders with their neighbors and get in the Christmas spirit.”
