THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) - The walls of the Thomasville Center for the Arts will ring with caroling and beautiful holiday music at Saturday's Christmas at the Center. "We are so fortunate to have a wonderful town like Thomasville that does support the art programs. The programs in the schools as well as the center. Music, there is performing arts all over the town," said Marketing Director Bonnie Hayes.
This fundraiser includes Breakfast with Santa, holiday portraits, and afternoon tea. "The ballet girls from the South Georgia Performing Arts Nutcracker will be there having a nice beautiful traditional tea for mothers and daughters or boys if they want to come too," said Hayes.
While waiting for their picture with Santa, kids can enjoy story time with Mrs. Claus or add candy to a life size gingerbread house.
Organizers say art events like this benefit a child's mental growth. "We know that the children who are supported through the arts do well statistically in school so we just hope that people come in, embrace the arts, and just reap the rewards throughout their life," said Hayes.
So Saturday at TCA you can stroll the holiday-decked halls, taking in the Christmas splendor, and create unforgettable Christmas memories.
The music, performances, and children's Christmas crafts are free for the public to enjoy from 9 am to 4 pm.
