Outdoor Pub Caroling! It’s at the mercy of the weather! The bathrooms to be closed! The carols will go on!
When: Sunday, Dec. 14, 2:00 until 4:00ish (please disregard any previous announcements that may have said 1-3 pm) or we are done or cold. Start time is pretty solid, end time is a bit fluid and depends on how long folks want to continue (see weather above) (see also bathroom closure above).
Location: Wabun picnic shelter D (unless someone gets there before us). There are no shelter reservations taken in December, so, in the unlikely event shelter D is already in use, look around and listen for the singing. We could be down the hill or on the other side of the restrooms.
What: Sing carols of the season (Thanksgiving, Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s, Solstice, you get the idea).
How: The usual rules of the Merlin’s pub singings apply: Come prepared to sing a capella! Leaders, we want to hear your lovely voices, so please sing without amplification or instruments. Songs should be well-known or have a not-too-difficult chorus so that all can join in singing. Leading is not required: if you don’t want to lead, you can listen, sing choruses, or simply enjoy the company (and the weather). Leaders will ideally know their song well enough to sing with, at most, quick peeks at words on paper or phone.
Accessibility: It’s a public park with curb cuts to get to the picnic shelter. Because it’s the off-season, any snow may not be shoveled before we get there. And did I mention the bathrooms will be locked?
If indoor caroling is more your speed, check out the indoor carol sing at Merlin’s on Dec. 21.
