“We’ll be marketing it at The Green Spot and several other locations closer to Christmas.” A little music brings a lot of cheer to the atmosphere and there will be some opportunities to tap your frozen toes this season with “Tuba Christmas” on Dec. 6, which is organized by Brandon University. “If you’ve never heard 20 or 30 tubas and euphoniums all playing Christmas carols at the same time, it’s a really lovely low, mellow sound and you can join in for a sing-along,” he says. Even more music will be in the air on Dec. 13. “The Crocus Plains Music Depart- ment comes to be with us with their singers and musicians and they’ll do about a two-hour performance all for free,” says Whetter. “It’s just a nice opportunity for them to come in and entertain their parents and their friends. We’re just so happy to have these folks come through our doors.” If you’re more of a bookworm than a music lover, The Green Spot has an activ- ity for you, too. The newly created Leaves and Literature Book Club — operated out of the Secret Garden Cafe — will meet twice a month. Those interested are invit- ed to check out The Green Spot Facebook page for details. Got a snow-covered sidewalk or drive- way? The Green Spot can clear it. The staff
can help book over the phone and esti- mates are based on lot size. The Christmas holidays are a time to give ... and give back. The Green Spot can make arrangements for poinsettia sales for group fundraisers. “We’ve added gift cards as well. Groups purchase cards at a reduced rate and then sell them for the full value. It’s been very successful because the cards can be used anytime and they never lose their value,” he says. And finally, The Green Spot will be do- ing one more makers’ market this year. “We call it The Last Chance Market on Dec. 20 with over 40 vendors. It’s kind of saying to everybody: OK, this is it! Christ- mas is in a few days. This is the last time you’ll be able to see these vendors.” “We get a tremendous response from the artisans and from customers. These are great Christmas presents, beautifully handmade. They’re fun, they’re creative with everything from game boards to winter coats and pottery and jewelry and soap and small pieces of furniture.” “It’s a very merry event.” See The Green Spot’s Facebook page for updates and details on dates and times for all events.
