Christmas Caroling This Friday!

Dear Pollard Neighbors,

As a reminder, neighborhood Christmas caroling will be this Friday, December 18th. We are still looking for a few households who may like our carolers to stop at their house. Please email us Wednesday, December 16th or feel free to call (225) 755-9119 and let us know your name and address.

As we have done in prior years, a large decorated trailer will be provided for kids (and a few adults) to ride around the neighborhood. Pizza, hot chocolate, bottled water, and cookies will be provided, as well as various Christmas attire items to add to the festivities. Guitar accompaniment will keep everyone in tune and Christmas music sheets will be provided to help remember the words to the songs.

Due to the current COVID 19 situation, participants should evaluate their individual risk factors for a gathering of this type.  The event will be entirely outdoors where we can maintain a low risk of spreading the virus. Masks should be worn when social distancing is not possible, such as when riding on the trailer. However, we will spread out to sing at each stop.

Friday evening, all carolers should meet at the home of Matt and Sarah Gamble (5823 South Pollard Parkway) starting at 5 PM. We will load up and start the caroling route around 6 PM and return in about 1 ½ to 2 hours to the same location. We have always had a great turnout, and we look forward to seeing everyone there. 

Also, our Christmas decorating contest is currently ongoing, and many neighbors have done a great job brightening up the neighborhood for the holidays. The winner will be announced on December 21st with a home decorating gift certificate.  

With warmest holiday wishes,

CAPE Board of Directors
