The Friends of the Bertram Library hosted their annual Christmas Open House this past Tuesday. The Highland Lakes Brass Band entertained the audience with numerous Christmas carols. There were goodies to eat, lots of door prizes, and Santa was on hand to take photos with the kiddos. Also set up was a card-making station where attendees were able to make Christmas cards to take home or to donate to the Bertram Nursing Home.
Gathering Grounds Coffee Shop was the venue for a one-woman depiction of A Christmas Carol. Bernadette Nason has traveled the world as an author and actor. She has been a Texas Commission on the Arts touring artist since 2002 and is often seen in regional theatre, including the Austin Playhouse.
She has written two books, Stealing Baby Jesus and Tea in Tripoli.
