Holiday Happenings

This holiday season there are plenty of happenings in and around Defiance, beginning this week. If you missed Siberian Solstice a few weeks ago, you have two different opportunities to catch them.

Siberian Solstice- Thursday, December 1st, 7:00pm at Schomburg Auditorium on The Defiance College Campus. This event is free for Defiance College students, faculty and staff, otherwise, the admission is $5.00. Also, Sunday, December 4th, 6:30pm at Defiance Christian Church, 955 Stanley Rd, Defiance. Free will offering.

First Friday in Downtown Defiance- You guessed it. It's this Friday, December 2nd, 4-8pm. Santa is coming to town, riding a trolley, which marks the opening of Santa's house at the corner of Clinton St. and 1st St.  http://visitdefianceohio.com/   Downtown merchants will be open with many specials so get some of your holiday shopping done. While at Breadstyxs you can listen to Rob Lawson sing while you have your picture sketched by a caricature artist.

These next 3 events listed below are very near and dear to my heart. The Defiance College plays an integral part in Defiance's performing arts community. For many years, Dick Stroede was the leading force behind these performances. Dick's legacy continues and Andrew Schultz has done an outstanding job continuing these holiday traditions.
