Windows at Woods
The 7th Annual Windows at Woods will begin at 6:30 pm and has been a Clarkesville Christmas tradition for families for many years. The store windows actually “come to life” thanks to the talents of Habersham Community Theatre volunteers, who will perform continuously until 7:15pm.
This year’s theme will be an original production of “A Puppet Christmas Carol” featuring the amazing puppets (think Muppets) created by HCT Volunteers for “Avenue Q”. Each Window will be a different scene in the story. Questionnaires will be available for spectators to fill out as they view the scenes. The questionnaires may then be entered into a drawing for Woods Furniture Gift Certificates.
