terrell Chamber of Commerce achieves civic auction goal

small Business saturday “shop at home” set for nov. 24

The Terrell Chamber of Commerce held its 37th an-nual civic auction on Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Cowboy Collections Arena on FM Highway 148, south of Ter-rell.

The theme of this year’s civic auction was “Cham-ber and the Chocolate Factory”. People were dressed up as Willy Wonka, Oompa Loompa and various char-acters from the film “Charlie and the Chocolate Fac-tory”.

The Terrell Chamber of Commerce was able to beat

its goal of raising $170,000. The Terrell Chamber of Commerce reached $178,366.

“The 37th Annual Civic Auction was a great success due to the efforts of our sponsors and volunteers. This event could not be done without them,” Terrell Cham-ber of Commerce President, Carlton Tidwell, said.

There were hundreds of items for bid during the auction, including a Lake Tahoe ski getaway, a trip to Napa Valley, Calif., that included a wine train and a three night stay at the Meritage Resort and Spa, a trip

to Costa Rica and a fishing getaway. The event also included a concert by local country

music performer, Reece Norris, 16, of Terrell High School. A concert from Norris was an auction item and a concert by him sold for $1,250 during the live auction. Norris will perform music for 50 people that will include a dinner donated by Hickory Roots BBQ.

There were more than 600 tickets sold for the event.

Small Business Saturday is approaching and that means “Shop at Home” weekend is around the corner.

Small Businesses in Terrell and the larger national campaign, “Small Business Saturday.” This campaign encourages people to shop locally and in their home-town. The event takes place Nov. 24 from 9 a.m. to

4 p.m. in downtown Terrell. Local businesses along the streets, Moore and Adelaide, are expected to par-ticipate in the community event with hopes to serve multiple patrons of the shops in Terrell’s downtown and beyond.

Live music will be playing along the strip and vari-

ous food vendors and handmade item creators will be there as part of the city’s Small Business Saturday ex-perience.

At dusk, a tree lighting ceremony will be held at the Terrell Heritage Museum.

ssC anticipates memorable year for Christmas home tour

The Social Science Club of Terrell, 22nd annual Tour of Homes, is blessed with an amazing line-up of homes for this year’s “Christmas in a Small Town” Tour of Homes. Four homes are owned by people who are new to Terrell and all have gone through signifi-cant remodeling. Four homes are on Griffith Avenue; the fifth on Grace Lane is a remarkable transformation from a 50s ranch to an English cottage. As ever, the five stunning homes, circa 1880 to 1950, will be beau-tifully decorated for Christmas.

Always the first Saturday of December, this 22nd home tour is December 1st from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. with homes close enough you could park once and walk to them all. The architecturally significant First United Methodist Church of Terrell will also be open and is making its parking lot available for anyone who wants to enjoy the tour on foot.

Tickets for the home tour are $20 in advance and are available online on the home tour page www.sscof-terrell.com/home-tour. Free cider and cookies will be offered at The Front Porch at 304 N. Catherine Street where will-call tickets may be picked up. Beginning November 1st, tickets may be purchased at the Ter-rell Chamber of Commerce, American National Bank on Moore Avenue, Re/Max Landmark on Frances Street, Tanger Mall Visitors’ Center, The Front Porch or through any SSC member. On the day of the tour, tickets are $25 and are available at all tour homes. An easy-to-read map is printed on the ticket booklet and, if weather cooperates, the entire route is walkable.

Another piece of Terrell’s history will be open for viewing during the tour. The Terrell Railcar in Ben Gill Park on Lions Club Lane will be presented by the

Terrell Heritage Society and decorated by the Terrell Garden Club.

The Social Science Club of Terrell is so grateful to its homeowners, underwriting sponsors and its longtime partners Sherry and Robert Hulsey, Terrell Chamber of Commerce, and Terrell Tribune.

Presented by the Social Science Club of Terrell (SSC; sscofterrell.com), all proceeds benefit commu-nity organizations which include the Share Center, an award-winning food bank that also provides clothing, financial assistance and counseling; the Terrell ISD Excellence Foundation; Friends of the Riter C. Hulsey Library; Terrell Heritage Society; No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum; Terrell Animal Alliance; and college scholarships for Terrell youth. In the last five years, the community’s support for the home tour has allowed SSC to distribute more than $95,000 to deserving local organizations and Terrell High School seniors.

For more information contact Leigh Pool at 214-766-9119 or email at [email protected]. Or con-tact Laura McClung at 469- 233-7820 or email at [email protected].

The homes on the tour are 204 Griffith Avenue, 220 Griffith Avenue, 604 Griffith Avenue, 720 Griffith Av-enue, 307 Grace Lane, 503 West College Street, First United Methodist Church of Terrell.

The Terrell ISD Excellence Foundation in partnership with Ballet North Texas is sponsoring a professional performance of the world’s most celebrated ballet, “The Nutcracker,” at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening, Dec. 14 at the Ter-rell ISD Jamie Foxx Performing Arts Center.

“Bringing a professional per-formance of “The Nutcracker” to Terrell is a dream come true for our city,” stated Leann Cooper, Ex-ecutive Director of the Excellence Foundation. “The pageantry of fif-teen classically trained ballet danc-ers, Tchaikovsky’s glorious musi-cal score, truly magnificent period costumes, and spectacular theatri-cal lighting will dazzle adults and

children alike.” Known as the crowning achieve-

ment by Russian romantic compos-er Peter Ilyick Tchaihovsky, this presentation will mark the first-ev-er professional performance of the renowned ballet in Terrell. “We are pleased and fortunate to have this opportunity to collaborate with Ballet North Texas,” continued Cooper. “They are an up and com-ing professional ballet troupe of the highest caliber.”

“The Nutcracker” is the captivat-ing story of Clara, a little girl who is given a wooden nutcracker as a gift on Christmas Eve. She awak-ens at midnight to experience the nutcracker’s battle with the army of the Mouse King and his trans-

formation into a handsome prince. The Sugar Plum Fairy and toy sol-diers play prominent roles in excit-ing production scenes throughout the ballet.

Student dancers from Royalty Dance Academy in Rockwall will enhance the full cast for this per-formance, including settings show-casing the exciting battle of the Nutcracker Prince and the Mouse King as well as several grand ball-room scenes.

“This is a great opportunity for parents and grandparents to share a very special evening of enchant-ment with their children and grand-children,” concluded Ms. Cooper. “We invite everyone to attend this delightful event.”
