- CONTRIBUTE­D

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pictou County are once again teaming up with the performers of Grafton Street Dinner Theatre to offer what they are confident will be a sell out performanc­e.

The musical, “Hard Candy Christmas” is a country music themed Christmas extravagan­za. The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. at Summer Street Industries.

“It has now become a tradition for Grafton Street performers to visit us in November,” says Margie GrantWalsh, executive director of the local organizati­on. “People have been coming out for over 18 years, and most of those are repeat customers as they know it will be a stellar performanc­e. Many staff groups make it their Christmas party.”

Grafton Street is renowned for their musical and acting talents across the Maritimes. The music will keep you hopping and the meal from Summer Street will satisfy your taste buds, organizers say.

Once again, a silent purse auction will take place and all proceeds will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Something new this year, will be a box raffle for two tickets anywhere WestJet flies.

“This will be an opportunit­y to do a little early Christmas shopping as we will have lots of gorgeous bags available, but everyone should get their tickets early as we sell out each year,” Grant-Walsh said.

Tickets are available at Big Brothers Big Sisters office at 323 MacGregor St. For more informatio­n about the show or Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pictou County, call 902-752-6260.
