Join us for our unique and entertaining holiday history program presented by David and Gayle Woodruff

This holiday season, join us for our unique and entertaining holiday/history program, You’ll Never Escape the Fruitcake—a jolly romp through the tangled tinsel of Christmas traditions! From the noble origins of Christmas trees to the mysterious persistence of fruitcake (which scientists now believe may be immortal), local authors and historians David & Gayle Woodruff unwrap the weird, the wonderful, and the wildly nostalgic in a 70-minute living history presentation.

It’s history with a side of ho-ho-hilarity—bring your cheer, your curiosity, and your own favorite memories of the holiday season.
