THE 5th ANNUAL

BOAR’S HEAD & YULE LOG FESTIVAL

December 3-4, 2011

At 6:00 pm on Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4, Ridgeway presented the Annual Boar’s Head & Yule Log Festival, a medieval Christmas celebration set in the manor house of a distinguished Lord and Lady of the realm. This year’s hosts were Lord and Lady Nelson, and they were very excited to see the many guests that joined them for the festivities.

Ridgeway’s Festival incorporated many of the traditional elements found in this ancient celebration – traditional carols, customs and accoutrements. Once again our choir and instrumentalists were featured, along with a children’s chorus, lords and ladies in beautiful costumes from the House of Laudermilch and even some storytelling by a local troupe of actors. Throughout the evening, we joined once again in celebrating the birth of the Christ Child.

Each year in November, tickets for the Festival are available for free and can be obtained by contacting the church office at 717-545-4542.  The event is a wonderful way to experience Ridgeway’s hospitality and usher in the holiday season.  Plus, proceeds from the free will offering collected each evening benefit those in need.  To view a recorded version of the production, click on the "Happenings" link to the left and enjoy!
