First weekend of December

Headlining these next three days is The Junction’s “Wonderful Weekend,” starting tonight with the open house involving many Junction stores and restaurants, continuing tomorrow night with the Tree Lighting, and wrapping up Sunday with wagon rides and Santa Photos @ Coffee to a Tea with Sugar. Also this weekend in The Junction, “Voices of Christmas” continues @ ArtsWest. We’ve got a ton of other holiday notes, including nonprofit wreath sales, on our WS Holiday Stuff page. (And if your weekend includes putting up Christmas lights, remember that we plan to list the biggest WS displays on that same page, so send us your address if yours qualifies, or that of anything else big, bright ‘n’ beautiful that you see ’round here.) Also this weekend — it’s Bingo Night tonight as part of the Fabulous Family Fridays series at High Point Community Center, volunteers are welcome Saturday at a Camp Long work party.

Friday night, in anticipation of some holiday spirit, my Maintenance Man (husband) and I bundled up and walked to the Junction to catch some live music at Coffee to a Tea… It was pretty empty when we got there, about 7:30. First, they were out of red wine. Then three running, screaming little kids in their jammies ran back and forth. Finally one dad, then a couple others, corralled them a little. The group that was playing was really good – BUT we didn’t stay because the kids were noisy. It looked like maybe there were 2-3 parents with one kid each, and that they were connected with the band. So the band was playing for them, there were only one or two other people in the place, and even fewer when we left. Not a good scene.

Sorry, comment time is over.
