The 29th Victorian Christmas was hosted by the Silver City Museum on Thursday, Dec. 12.
"Once again we bring a celebration of the season to the community," Tracy Spikes, museum director told the Beat. "We want people to eat all the cookies our volunteers brought and enjoy the live music, which will be playing this evening. Special thanks to AmBank for underwriting the event, so everyone can come for free. We have more children's activities this year than last."
