Christmas Gatherings In Dorchester


Dorchester has Christmas spirit.

Christmas lights are on all over town, with more than a quarter of the village's homes having lights.

What's more, several Christmas gatherings are planned over the coming days and weeks.

Here's the lineup: 

- The first Christmas event will be Sunday night's (Dec. 1) Dorchester American Legion Family Christmas Party. Join friends and family for food, drinks, presentations from the Jr. Auxiliary, and even Santa. Doors open at 5 p.m. with food being served around 6 p.m.
 
- On Monday, Dec. 2, Dorchester High School will host its Christmas concert, which will begin at 7 p.m. at the school. This is always a seasonal favorite in the community.
 
- The Dorchester Elementary School Christmas concert will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12 at the school. Get there plenty early; this will draw a large crowd.

- On Saturday, Dec. 14, the traditional Morning With Santa will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Community Building and Legion Hall. A free-will donation breakfast will be hosted by the community foundation fund starting at 8:00 -- everyone of all ages is invited. Santa arrives at 8:30 a.m. This gathering will feature special events for the kids!

- The Saline County Historical Society will host a free old-fashioned holiday gathering on Saturday, Dec. 14 at the Saline County Museum in Dorchester from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

- The Dorchester United Methodist Church's Christmas Eve service will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 24 at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome. (Children's program will be held during the regular service on Sunday, Dec. 22 at 9:30 a.m.)
