R According to the capacity crowd, The Ted Flanagan Olde Fashioned Christmas Special at the St. John's United Church was a success last Friday night. The show featured 25 acts, open- ing with The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. The papergirl rolled in on her bike, as children skated on the rink. Shoppers and carolers and dancers filled the place and were joined by Santa Claus, said or- ganizer Ted Flanagan. MP Michael Chong drove down from Ottawa to read The Night Before Christ- mas to eight children on the stage and of course, the rest of the audience. Santa Claus, wearing his red leather flying helmet, stepped in to drive the rein- deer and was heard to say "to all a good night." MPP Ted Arnott sang Happy Christmas with the St. John's Choir while the audi- ence waved coloured lights. The Down- town Georgetown BIA board of directors sang a number. Last year's recipient of the Downtown Georgetown Music Scholar- ship Award, Madeleine Lake, stopped the show with a performance of Come Unto Him from Handel's Messiah. There was a wide variety of performers of all ages. Four cheques for $1,000 were pre- sented. One was given to a family whose father died after a 14-year struggle with cancer and whose daughters have health concerns. Another cheque went to Links- 2Care who provide a myriad of support to poor people in Halton Hills, and there will be two Downtown Georgetown Mu- sic Scholarships this year-- one each to Georgetown District High School and Christ the King Catholic high school. Performers sing in the finale of the Ted Fla- nagan Olde Fashioned Christmas Special. Sold-out show aids families and students
