It's the 19th of December. The concerts have been played. People are just finishing their list of things to do before the Holidays arrive (or maybe not).
I wish you a wonderful Holiday Season, regardless of the Holiday you keep. I'll be back in early January with a calendar of concerts for the beginning of 2011.
Until then, all the best to you and yours!

However, you can still participate in the one to be held in the Fox Valley on Saturday December 18. All of the events will be held at the Communication Arts Center on the Campus of the University of Wisconsin - Fox Valley in Menasha, Wisconsin.
