If you’re in a singing mood, come join The Goode Time Carolers’.  The Goode Time Carolers’ are dedicated to bringing a traditional, classic Christmas caroling experience that you will remember for years to come.  Your experience will be enriched by meticulously made costumes inspired by Dickens. The Goode Time Carolers’ will be performing  December 4-6 from 7-9pm.
