Christmas

The holiday season just wouldn't seem complete without taking in a local Christmas play, right? The Open Theatre Project of Anaconda has the remedy! Under the guidance of Creative Director Sue Konicek, local students will take to the Anaconda Little Theater Stage on December 9th, 10th & 11th to perform in "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever". As described in Good Reads, This Christmas classic by Barbara Robinson follows the chaotic lifestyle of the Herdman siblings, who take over the community Christmas Pageant in the most outrageous and harried way! In the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, the tale is widely known as "The Worst Kids in the History of the World". This hilarious play will have you in stitches as 'Three Wise Men' intertwine with frightened shepherds, a ham, and a hand full of mischievous rascals!

This Saturday (December 3rd), and for the first time since 2019, the Women's Club in Anaconda will have just that; a Christmas Store designed specifically for children "only" to shop for their loved ones. It's an exciting experience for the kiddos. Volunteers will be on-site to help these young shoppers pick out up to 8 items priced at ONLY $1 each. Community members over the past month brought in donations and gifts, so the selection is expected to be great! Volunteers will also be there to wrap all chosen gifts. Here's where to bring your youngster for a shopping experience like no other this Saturday: Ancient Order of Hibernians Hall at 106 Cherry in Anaconda. The Christmas Store will be open from 9 a.m. until noon. Proceeds will go towards AJHS Women's Club Scholarships. Let the shopping begin!

Time to twist your arm to get some serious shopping done! Okay, so some people absolutely love shopping during the holiday season, and others, well, not so much. But, no matter what side of the fence you're on, one particular annual event has made it easy for family and friends to come together for a fun shopping experience. With over 90 vendors to choose from, the Annual Winter Bazaar and Tradeshow in Butte on November 19th and 20th is a keeper!

We're not even two days past Halloween, and wouldn't you know it; it's time to move on to another excellent event underway, but this time for the holiday season. The calendar doesn't lie as Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, which means another wonderful rendition of the "Butte"iful Christmas Craft Show is coming! This spectacular, feel-good craft show for the whole family will take place at the Front Street Station in Butte on Saturday, November 26th, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, November 27th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
