The Centennial Cultural Center had a busy week as they held two big Christmas events at their facility in Olla.

On the night of December 9, the annual Community Christmas Singing event was held with many special guest singers participating.

A great crowd was on hand to enjoy the music as the community came together with the Christmas season in full swing.

On Saturday, December 14, the CCC’s annual Cookies with Santa event was held with many children attending. At the event, the children visited with Santa Claus, sang Christmas songs, created ornament crafts and decorated Christmas sugar cookies.

Deborah Hailey of Tales on the Trails was also on hand where she signed the children up for the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
