A delicious dinner buffet was served. The main entrees included
Chicken Marsala, Prime rib of beef, with various vegetables and potato
dishes. Maria Antoniak played her accordion for our listening
pleasure. At 5 pm the Cultural Group‘s show began with a welcome by
Stevie Paul. The play was narrated by Sofi Walter who explained that
“The Christmas Spider” was of German and Ukrainian origin.
The Villagers (Miners) Mike Fricker, Dan Galgon, Nick Walter,
and Ed Galgon, along with Joey Reiter, Sasha Malofiy and Stevie Paul,
performed the Miners Dance. Then, the black spiders, Jakob and Even
Hubert, Kyra Malofiy, Sabina Hartman, Anika Mahadevan, Chrissy
Dieterly, Karina Wiehan, danced around spinning their webs near a
Christmas tree. Later the Icicles, Emma Walter, Sabrina Keyes, Mikaela
Malofiy, Karina Fricker, Catherine Dieterly, danced weaving tinsel
over the webs, making beautiful tree decorations.
The townspeople including Mike Fricker with Jenn Lineman,
Mikaela Malofiy with Dan Galgon, Sasha Malofiy with Michelle Paul,
Nick Walter with Karina Fricker, Joey and Allysa Reiter, Fallon
Weyershaeuser and Ed Galgon, Sofi Walter and Stevie Paul danced the
Amboss Polka Plattler.
After a slight pause, so the cast could change into their
Nativity Scene costumes. Joey Reiter narrated the wonderful Christmas
Story as Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus, Nichole, Chris and Christopher
Deely, proceeded on their journey. They were followed by the angels,
the shepherds, the animals, the villagers, and finally the three
Kings. As always, all sang Silent Night in both the English and the
German language. The show ended with an enthusiastic singing of “We
Wish You a Merry Christmas”.
Soon Santa Claus appeared and the children and teens and even
adults (females of course) enjoyed speaking with him!!! It was a happy
event. Great to celebrate with old and new friends!!
