Christmas Open House at Window on the Plains Museum and The Art Center was a big success, even though the weather did not do much to cooperate. Over 170 people braved the cold to come enjoy the celebration of Christmas.
Mrs. Santa entertained children during the morning with stories. Most children would climb in her lap to hear her animated stories. Refreshments of hot apple cider, coffee and a variety of breads were served to visitors.
Santa was at the museum during the afternoon to hear Christmas wishes and give gifts to children. A group of violin students of Evan Robertson entertained during the afternoon with carols. The students were Ana Bell Barker, Holly Wilhelm, Gillian Darcy, Cooper Hokanson, Calvin Barker, Deran Running and Emily Wilhelm.
A Members Show and Sale was displayed in The Art Center and featured art work by members of Moore County Art Association. Most of the items were available for sale for Christmas gift giving or home decorating. Refreshments of cookies, candy, punch, hot cider and coffee were served to visitors.
Door prizes were awarded throughout the day.
Decorations at both the museum and The Art Center will remain up through Christmas. Both centers are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
