Festive decorations sparkled as the audience sang along to beloved Christmas songs. It was a thrill to see an auditorium full of bright and smiling faces of all ages enjoying the carol singalong. The audience could also be heard joining in with the Kawartha Music Company and the Aces of Harmony during their respective performances.
