The public is invited to a Museum at Campbell River special Holiday Open House on Saturday, Dec. 11 from 1-3 p.m.

What would a holiday celebration be without some tasty treats? The Italian Cultural Society will be on site with Christmas goodies, and ReMax Check Realty will be on site with hot chocolate and sweets.

There will be some seasonal music to enjoy courtesy of the String Beans, Tony Fantillo on accordion, and Jim Chisolm singing and playing carols. The String Beans are a small ensemble of string students aged 6-18 who go around town and play Christmas music at special events, seniors’ centres and schools.
