Alpena Entertainment Page 5 A Fairy Tale Christmas at TBT Thunder Bay Theatre has done it. Made their own program, Bravo! "A Fairy Tale Christmas” was written by Jane Goebel, Keven Burnham and the Christmas writing contest winners. The contest winners were Justin Bibler, Jessee Chappa, Heidi Frei, Amber Middleton, Julie Ann Morrill, Becky Ratz, Billie Schultz and Laura Szwalk, "A Fairy Tale Christmas” is a musical Christmas play especially made for children, Not only do the children enjoy the show but so do the grown-ups. I myself had quit a few laughs with also my companion Nicole Petty, the girl I babysit for. The play was in two acts with six different actors/actresses portraying different parts throughout the performance. The play was a whole bunch of stories put into one, Which if I may say was a very unique idea. The main story was about the Miller family. The Miller family was performed by Nan McGrady, Max Hardy, Jane Goebel and Tim Tavano. The play starts out introducing the Miller family then proceeds to change stories into the childrens troduces two more actors A LeBow and James Moles. After the drama program we are back at the Miller's house where the Miller children are being children, fighting, playing, and what every kid does at Christmas taking the candy canes off the tree. Now we shift back into another story in which the Miller children go to see Santa. Which ends up to be the wrong thing to do. CRUISE SHIPS Now Hiring Men and Women.

(206) 736-7000 0c After the really funny story about Santa we go back to the Miller's house where the mother is now going to read her daughter a story about "A Fairy Tale Christmas". "A Fairy Tale Christmas " was a story about a young prince who was having a terrible Christmas because his father , the king,wanted to find the prince a bride for christmas. TBT then gave everyone a brief intermission. Then we come back to another scene in the Miller's home. There you see the youngest Miller starting to fall asleep and dreaming about what it was like for her parents first Christmas together.....you go to the other side of the stage and see her dream. We end it all with the Miller family seeing Santa out the window and celebrating christmas. I would like to give special attention to all the singing which was very pleasant especially the princes voice. The music was done by Aadam LeBow and was extremely interesting to listen to. The host and workers were especially nice, like usual. They always make you feel welcome and at home. TBT would like to welcome performance.

ADA® The ACC Christmas float clip-clopped down Chisholm Ss. on Nov. 25, with the rest of the entries in Alpena’s Christmas Parad ve ade. The Student Senate supported float was pulled by two clydesdales and represented the entire campus. The float didn't win any prizes, but the crowd saw ACC was alive and participating in the community. Tracey Barraco, a freshman represenitive from the Student Senate, organized the crew and general assembly of the float. After many false starts, Barraco and crew were able to build a highly visable entry. The float, a few positions behind the muzzle-loaders exhibit, was nerve jerking for the students that rode on the wagon. The horses kept lurching forward with all the excitement and noise. If you missed out on the fun, either watching the parade or being a part of it, and would like to be active in future events around campus, stop in at the Student Senate office located just left of the main lobby in BTC, Christine P.
