Mingle and Jingle, Upton Trio and All Local Farmers’ Market

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

We’re in the holiday spirit now thanks to a little mingling and jingling on Main Street last week.  Hope you all were on hand to catch some yuletide cheer with the music of James Beresford’s duo and Fatback and the Groove Band, and that you scooped up some tasty treats and local artwork before heading home.

Last night we were treated to the lively sounds of the Upton Trio at the home of Kirkman and Kathleen Finlay, who graciously opened their doors and welcomed a crowd at a benefit concert for the Nickelodeon Theatre, the SC Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, and the Upton Trio. We can’t wait for the Trio to play at the Fox when we move in. If you love them like we do, you can see them next Tuesday, December 15th at The White Mule.

If you’re still trying to decide what to give your favorite people this year, Nickelodeon memberships make great gifts. Want to really wow your loved ones? Buy them their very own chair in the new theater, or make sure their name appears on the wall of stars in the new lobby. We won’t be ready to show movies in the new space for another year, but we have a layaway plan and you’ll still get credit for the gift this year! Come check us out the next two Saturdays at our table at the All Local Farmers’ Market at 701 Whaley.

Mingle and Jingle on Main!

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Join us this Thursday, December 3rd from 6 -9PM for a holiday-themed block party on Main Street. The event will feature the works of various visual and performing artists, and Villa Tronco, the White Mule and other local vendors will be on hand for food and drink. The Nick will be projecting holiday images on the outside wall of the old Silver’s building, and while most of the action will be on the 1500 block, which will be closed to traffic, we’ll be featuring an art exhibit at the Fox, too!
