This year Senior Voice's Sights and Sounds of Christmas will be held on Thursday, December 1st from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Starlite Ballroom at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds. Quad City Seniors, family and caregivers are invited to attend this  FREE event to herald in the 2011 holiday season. Senior Voice especially welcomes seniors who are alone or confined to rehab centers who may not be able to attend other community holiday events or who's family will not be with them for Christmas.

Once again Santa will make an appearance bringing a gift for every senior! He will be escorted by Dancing Reindeer from the Ballet Quad City School of Dance.

The event will be heralded in by a fanfare of Christmas music performed by a brass ensemble from the New Horizons Band. MCs for the event will be Don Mitchum, Jerry Schroeder and Dave Layton. They will also provide humor and music as the trio The Three Wise Guys.

New this year will be tastes and smells of Christmas with a cookie machine provided by Beacon of Hope Hospice.
