The Horticultural Society has been waiting a year for this country concert! It was originally on our calendar for last year, but got moved to this year because of a conflict. We will have the opportunity to do a lot of our regular repertoire, plus all of the Christmas cabaret music.

  • We are performing two sets:

    • 7:00pm for approximately 20 - 25 minutes (Our regular non-Chrirstmas songs.)

    • 7:50pm for 20 - 25 minutes. (Christmas cabaret songs.)

    • The choir will have a 25 minute rest between performances.

  • We should arrive in Tillsonburg approximately 6:15pm. It takes approximately 45 min to get to Tillsonburg from St. Thomas.
