Description
Antioch's Dickens Holiday Village premieres in November of 2014.
OUR 2nd DICKENS VOLUNTEER MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH AT 6:30 PM IN THE ANTIOCH COMMUNITY BUILDING. PLEASE REGISTER FOR REMINDERS!
DICKENS HOLIDAY VILLAGE: The Antioch Chamber is proud to announce the creation of a brand new Holiday Program for Antioch . . . Dickens Village. Throughout the year we will be creating Dickens Characters to place on the sidewalks of Downtown Antioch for the months of November and December, 2014. This will be a program that will continue to grow year by year. We are looking for volunteers to help us throughout the year to create this exciting program:
· Apparel Committee: If you like to sew or like to shop thrift stores, we will be creating a Dickens Wardrobe for our Dickens Village. Volunteers are needed to work on this in early 2014 (while thrift stores still have winter apparel);
· Story Committee: People who enjoy the Dickens story are needed to help us create a storyline for our program. Each Dickens character will have a plaque telling you the story of who that character is. Characters will be created around the storyline, so this is a very important part of our Dickens Village;
· Construction Committee: Our Dickens Characters need to be made of sturdy construction to withstand our harsh November and December weather. We will be building our mannequins and maintaining them from year to year. We need people who enjoy working with wood, metal and other construction materials;
· Artistic Committee: Each Dickens Character will be created by Volunteer Artists. We are seeking Artistic Volunteers to help create our Dickens faces which will bring this program to life;
· Maintenance Committee: Volunteers are needed to set-up and take-down the Characters each year and to help maintain the displays in case of heavy snow or ice; and
· Program Committee: For people who love to plan a party! We will create events to be held in tangent with our Dickens Village for next November and December.
Our 2nd DICKENS VOLUNTEER MEETING is Thursday, March 20th at 6:30 pm in the Antioch Community Building. Come and learn how you can be part of this new program.
