Ucross Community Invites All to December 13 Christmas Celebration
The Ucross Community is preparing for a joyous event this December. The Ucross Community Christmas Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, at the Raymond Plank Center. This family-friendly event is free and open to all, with free tickets available online. The celebration promises a day filled with entertainment, food, and a grand finale with cannon fire and a fireworks display.
The event begins at 4 p.m. and will feature performances by local talents. The Fireants and the Buffalo High School Balladiers will be entertaining the crowd, while renowned author Craig Johnson will be doing a special reading. In addition to the performances, there will be a holiday craft station for children to enjoy. Hot cocoa, coffee, and hot apple cider will be served alongside seasonal treats to keep everyone warm and satisfied.
The celebration is not just about fun and festivities; it's also about giving back to the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods and nonperishable food items for donation to local food pantries. The Park at Ucross will be illuminated with thousands of twinkling Christmas lights, creating a magical atmosphere.
The event is sponsored by several local businesses, including Roger L. Daniels Insurance Agency, QC10 Architects, In Yarak Construction, AlphaGraphics, and Farmers Insurance. Ucross connects artists-in-residence with the community through the Ucross Art Gallery and year-round cultural programming, making this celebration a true reflection of the community's spirit.
The Ucross Community Christmas Celebration promises to be a wonderful event for the whole family. With its mix of entertainment, community giving, and festive atmosphere, it's an event not to be missed. The Raymond Plank Center, located at the junction of U.S. Highways 14 and 16 East, will be the place to be this December 13. Carpooling is encouraged to ensure everyone can enjoy the celebration safely and responsibly.
