Refreshments will be served following the band’s performance. The program is free and open to the public.

“We hope visiting the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum will continue to be a holiday tradition for families,” says Karl Weissenbach, Director. Holiday decorations and lights will dress up the grounds and buildings, adding to the weekend of holiday magic in Abilene.”

“Abilene is the place to be in December. The weekends offer something for all ages—shopping, homes tours, craft show, music, and Santa,” states Glenda Purkis, director of the Abilene Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). “Throughout the month there are great opportunities for dining, music and even professional theatre.” For more information on additional holiday activities during the month, please visit the CVB web site at www.abilenekansas.org.
