Carolers in the community of Barriere

Bringing the spirit of the Christmas season to area seniors

Carolling is a very old Christmas tradition which is still enjoyed by many.Recently, Babes Shanko, Judy Lane, Kathy Cooper and Debbie Cruzelle went out on Dec. 21, complete with reflective vests, to keep the tradition alive. “We’ve done this for a few years already,” said Cruzelle, “We usually go to the Yellowhead Pioneer Residence and sing in the hallway; pretty soon doors open and residents come out to listen.  There are several folks we know, and we visit them at their home.  We spent some time with them, and it was great to see how much they enjoyed our visit with them.  Our main reason to go carolling is to give something back to our seniors.  Seniors are valued and important residents of our community.” Pictured are carolers Babes Shanko, Judy Lane, and Kathy Cooper, with the photograph taken by Debbie Cruzelle on Dec.12.
