Saturday, December 6th: The annual candlelight stroll in Port Dalhousie at which the A Cappella Niagara Chorus performs outdoors, with other musical guests strategically placed on balconies along the route. We sang in the St. John’s Church parking lot. After our set we went to a neighbour’s, who opened her house for an “Afterglow” party. Mulled wine, beer, wine, mini tourtieres, gravad lax, shrimp and dips and cookies. We sang there – for our supper.
