HANCEVILLE, Ala. — It may be July, but Christmas is just around the corner and the Wallace State Community College Alumni Association is offering two short trips that will surely get you in the Christmas spirit.
The first is a day-trip to Nashville, Tenn., on Nov. 18, to enjoy a matinee performance of the Cirque Dream Holidaze show at Grand Ole Opry House. The group will travel to Nashville by motorcoach, arriving in time to visit and have lunch either at Opry Mills or the Gaylord Opryland Hotel before the show. Both the mall and hotel will be decorated for the holidays.
Cirque Dream Holidaze is a Broadway musical featuring amazing acrobatics, over 300 costumes, singers, and much more to kick off the holiday season. This is a family show filled with snowmen, angels, reindeer, toy soldiers – a perfect holiday gift for the entire family.
The cost is $130 per person, and includes reserved seating to the performance and transportation to and from Nashville. Space is limited and the deadline to register for the trip is Sept. 1. Visit www.wsccalumni.org/holidaze for more information and to register.
