The volunteers at Fulton’s Windmill Area will host several programs during the Christmas Walk on Friday, December 2, from 5:00 – 7:30. This is the third year that the Windmill Cultural Center will feature events during the annual winter celebration. The public is invited to share in the festivities taking place at 111 – 10th Avenue in downtown Fulton, Illinois.
A craft station will be available for children from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. At 5:30, the Morrison Madrigal singers will perform in costume. The singers celebrate their 42nd anniversary this year, and it is one of the oldest such programs in the State of Illinois. The madrigal group is led by Anna Brown, Director of Choral Activities at Morrison High School. The group will perform in Fulton for 45 minutes. Following the madrigal singers, there will be a musical performance by Riley Hubbart on cello. Ms. Hubbart is a senior at Clinton High School and has been performing for five years. Throughout the evening, Dutch Sinterklaas and Miller Claus will be available for photos. Refreshments will be served.
Activities during the Fulton Christmas Walk are not the only happenings at the Windmill Area this winter. Wild Winter Wednesdays at the Windmill Cultural Center (WWW@WCC) are fun, educational programs offered on Wednesday mornings in December, January, February, and March at 9:00 a.m. Also, the Volunteer Millers provide educational, historical, and musical programming throughout the year. Both sets of programs are free and open to the public. For more information, call 815-589-3925 or visit the Windmill Cultural Center Facebook page.
