The Winter Wonderland Christmas Party, hosted by the Badlands Community Facility Fundraising Cabinet is coming up on Saturday, December 13. Tickets are available from For Sight Vision or Century 21 Power Realty. Barb Lubinski of the Fundraising Cabinet is looking forward to an evening of music, food and fun.

   The Badlands Community Facility Fundraising Cabinet is adding some warmth to winter to spread Christmas cheer.
   Saturday, December 13 the Badlands Community Facility will be transformed into a winter wonderland. The Cabinet are hosting a gala evening of fine food, live music, dancing and fun.
   Member of the Cabinet Kim Suntjens says the idea of the Winter Wonderland Christmas Party is a great chance to have a night out with friends to celebrate the season. It springboards off events like the Diamond Dinner but is more inclusive.
   Barb Lubinski, also in the Cabinet, says it is also a great chance for companies to host their Christmas party.
   “I was making a decision on my staff party for Western Chev and there wasn’t that much, so we said let’s dive into it!” she said. “But even for groups of friends, it is great.”
   It is also an evening to get glitzed up a bit. While not exclusively a formal event, it is a chance to enjoy an evening of finery.
   “It is going to be nicely decorated, look really nice when you come in. There will be great food and great prizes,” said Suntjens.
   On stage will be Back Road Traveler providing the music.
   “They play country and classic rock, which is perfect. The majority of people like that to dance to when you have a mixed crowd, so that is awesome,” said Lubinski.
   The event will include a silent auction and raffles to raise funds for the BCF.
   “The silent auction will have lots of items, which are appropriate for gift giving if you haven’t done your shopping,” said Lubinski.
    They are still accepting donations for the silent auction. For more information, contact Suntjens at 403-820-2100 or email: kimsuntjens@gmail.com
   Tickets are available in advance at Century 21 Power Realty, and For Sight Vision.

Jolly Christmas Giant

Chris-bobra

Not only was Chris Bobra generous in donating a tree from his yard to the Town of Drumheller’s Christmas displays, but he was also able to use his stature to help decorate it. Standing at a towering six-foot seven inches, he was easily able to place the traditional star on top of the tree to bring Christmas cheer to the valley. Environment Canada is calling for 7 to 10 cm of snow November 27 throughout the day and evening with the temperature falling to minus 17 tonight.

Nuns run Vegas show in Nunsensations!

nunsensations-2014

(l-r)Sister May Leo, Sister Robert Ann, Sister Mary Hubert and Reverend Mother Mary Regina are busy this week belting out tunes on Kaleidoscope Theatre’s Stage in Nunsensations! The Nunsense Vegas Review. Tickets are available by calling 403-823-7529.

No one is ever too old, too young or too serious to enjoy a little Nunsense.
   Kaleidoscope Theatre is revisiting the five zany Little Sisters of Hoboken, this time in Sin City in Nunsensations! The Nunsense Vegas Review.
   Drumheller theater goers are well acquainted with Reverend Mother Mary Regina, Sister Mary Hubert, Sister Robert Anne, Sister Mary Leo and Sister Mary Amnesia. Nunsensations! is the fifth installment of the zany series and it puts the sisters on stage in Las Vegas.
   Offered a $10,000 donation by a parishioner to perform at the Pump Room at the Mystique Motor Lodge, Mother Superior is hesitant at first, but soon they all head on to the stage with the mantra ‘What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” as a justification.
    The audience gets glimpses into the lives of the five nuns we already know and love, but more importantly, we get a whole lot of singing and hijinks.
   Becky Neuman, Angela Keibel and Ashley Turner all have the habit of performing on Kaleidoscope’s stage. They are joined by newcomers Sara Zubiak and Rhian Russell who bring great musical talent and timing to the show.
   Rounding out the cast is Sister Marie Annette, although she does go missing for a spell, and showgirl Megan McLaughlin who helps keep the show rolling along.
   Kaleidoscope Theatre as a collective, has a unique talent of flushing out talent in the area and giving them a chance to shine on stage. Nunsensations! is no exception and along the way provides a fun night of entertainment that leaves you smiling.
   Nunsensations! The Nunsense Vegas Review continues this week, with performances from November 25-29 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 403-823-PLAY (7529).
