Happy holidays and best wishes to all for the upcoming new year, on behalf of the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame and our 2011 Holiday Concert sponsors Edie Haughney and your neighbors at Frontier Communications.
Mark your calendar for Thursday, December 8th to attend the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame’s annual Holiday Concert. This Museum members’ benefit event will be held in the Museum’s William R. Haughton Memorial Hall. Goshen High School’s Varsity Choir and Jazz Voices Ensemble will return for this special occasion. We are also delighted to welcome The Yuletide Carolers. Wearing authentic Victorian attire, they will greet concert goers at the Museum entrance from 7 – 7:25 p.m. with a number of the best-loved carols of the season. They will then join the Varsity Choir and the Jazz Voices in the Haughton Hall at 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by Frontier, your local telecommunications provider, the Yuletide Carolers, on this their first time appearance at the concert, will add their voices to the program and lead our lively audience in the concert’s annual version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
Museum member Edie Haughney, financial advisor in the Pearl River Office of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney will be complementing the evening’s entertainment with a holiday dessert table for the enjoyment of all. Arrive early to enjoy our Yuletide Carolers’ welcoming performance and our holiday tree filled with horsey ornaments, tour the Museum with its festive halls and stalls, and check out the new exhibits that have been installed since last year’s concert.
Concert admission of $3.00 per person is waived for members. Non-members who bring a new unwrapped toy for the Marines’ “Toys for Tots” program receive a $1.00 admission discount! As seating is limited we recommend making reservations as soon as possible by calling Joanne Young at (845) 294-6330.
