Back in 1958, a little known group called The Harry Simeon Chorale had a surprise hit with a song called 'The Little Drummer Boy'.
The song got up to #13 and reappeared on the charts every year thereafter until 1962.
Since that time, the song has had a life of it's own. It's been rerecorded by many artists and, over the years, it's been adapted for TV, movies and the ballet.

This weekend , the Lake Area entertainment choices are about as varied as anyone could wish.

The lake Area is rich with Christmas events this year. Add to that a ballet performance about the early settlers of our state.
Not only is this a great event for adults who appreciate ballet, but here is a chance to expose the kids and grandchildren to ballet.
