A Victorian Christmas : An Evening’s Entertainment At Balmoral Castle, Scotland Presented by Discover DanceWorks
Prince Albert designed & built Balmoral Castle as a family vacation retreat in Scotland where the Royals would entertain friends & family. The Royal Family’s dance teacher kept a diary while he was there. From this record, we have imagined an evening’s entertainment, brought to life with popular dances, songs, parlour game and period readings. Performers will be dressed in reproduction period clothing.

“Finding Forever”: Don’t miss this inspiring story of resilience, connection, and unconditional love. A young couple felt called to care for orphans but didn’t anticipate the direction that would take – to Darien. By age 17, Darien had spent 2,189 days in foster care, endured two failed adoptions, and lived in a detention center before a simple “yes” changed everything. The Karenbauer family is coming to Chambersburg as the featured speakers at this National Adoption Month event sponsored by the Adoption Coalition of Franklin County and King Street Church. Breakfast is provided.
