Polar Express & Ice Skating
On Thursday, December 12, Bristow Public Schools’ band and choir students performed music from “The Polar Express” with drama students also participating in the show. The show began at 7 p.m. and ran just over an hour. Prior to the concert, the City of Bristow and Chamber of Commerce set up the non-ice, ice skating rink outside the Freeland Center for the community to skate for free in advance of the show. Skating began at 6 p.m. Doors opened for the show at 6:15 p.m.
A Very Bristow Christmas Show
This year, the annual “A Very Bristow Christmas Show” concert was not a standalone event. Instead, local musicians performed during the Bristow Public Schools’ special “The Polar Express Concert” as both events combined for a single evening of festive community music.
Positively Oklahoma
Brett Fadely and his Bristow Route 66 Toy Museum were featured on Tulsa’s Channel 2 News’ “Positively Oklahoma” segment, last Friday, December 20, at 6 p.m. Community members expressed delight that he and the museum were chosen and featured.
New Year’s Eve Bash
C & J Kountry Fixin’s and CJ’s Bar will host a New Year’s Eve Bash on December 31. A small cover charge will be imposed with many activities and photo opportunities to ring in the new year.
Christmas Break
Bristow Public Schools exited classrooms for Christmas Break the afternoon of Wednesday, December 18. Children are due to return to school the morning of Tuesday, January 7. Children will enjoy a whopping 19 days for break this year!
Printing Issues
Bristow’s library announced last week that it would temporarily cease and/or reduce printing services due to the installation of a new printer. The library announced on social media that it would remove its notice once full printing capabilities had been restored; however, the notice remained posted as of time of print—pun intended.
Breathe and Smile!
As Christmas leaves us, take a moment to breathe and smile. Take in the final wonder of the season and find an event to ring in the new year.
