Music teacher Karen Fahrentholz and her piano students presented the 108 Mile Christmas Piano Recital at the Cariboo Christians Life Fellowship church on Dec. 11.

The annual Christmas Piano Recital was held the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship church on Dec. 11. A great turnout of family and friends filled most of the church where they were entertained by some 50 students having their turn at the piano.

Music teacher Karen Fahrentholz has been training music students for more than 30 years, starting in Chilliwack, then in Richmond and now at the 108 Mile Ranch.

Karen says she has lost count on how many students she has taught, but it must be in the hundreds.

Her students also performed in the 100 Mile Festival of the Arts where many of them have won trophies and awards.

A student must receive an 80 per cent mark to pass, and last year, all of her students had the honour of passing.

Christmas lights

Hurry and get those Christmas Lights up as the general public is judging the lights this year and they need to get their results in by Jan. 16.

Send your results, complete with address of your favourite light-up display, to Ingrid Meyer at 250-791-5663 or 250-609-4094.

All that is required is for you to drive around the 108 Mile Ranch and pick out the best lighting display. So, create a group and have a fun night out judging.

Bingo

Bingo starts up again in Jan. 22 and Feb. 26 at the 108 Mile Community Hall with doors opening at 6 p.m. and games starting 7.

Yuletide greeting

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic new year. Drive carefully and watch out for other people.
