Kids Become "Friends of the Shelter"
If you can't make it to the Bluffton Animal Shelter Open House on Dec. 11, there's another opportunity to help the animals this holiday season. The next two Saturdays, Dec. 4 and 11, a group of local boy scouts will be set up in front of the Bluffton Wal-Mart from 10-2 selling Christmas stockings for pets. The stockings will contain dog or cat treats and will sell for $2 each. All of the proceeds will benefit the Shelter.
Although the scouts could not make this an official scouting event, they felt strongly enough about the cause that they're going ahead with it on their own. Come out to support this double cause.

Smith Memorial Library or with a $7 purchase at the Stardust Terrace Café or Basile History Market.

Las Posadas (Free), Sunday, Dec. 12
6 p.m. - Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center
7 p.m. - Canal Procession
7:15 to 8 p.m. - Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art
In Mexico, Las Posadas is a beloved holiday tradition ¬ a celebration that commemorates Mary and Joseph's search for lodging in Bethlehem (posada means inn or shelter in Spanish). Family and friends gather and re-enact Mary and Joseph's search for shelter by carrying lit candles, singing special songs and following figures of Mary and Joseph that are carried aloft in a procession. When these pilgrims, or peregrinos, reach predetermined stops, they divide into two groups. One half of the group begs for shelter, while the other half refuses them. At the last stop, usually someone¹s home, the doors are opened in greeting and a grand celebration begins where families break piñatas, drink ponche and eat treats.
Join the Indiana Historical Society, Eiteljorg Museum, Christ Church Cathedral, the Consulate of Mexico in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Art Center and other community groups to celebrate this festive family tradition. The free evening starts at the History Center, where guests will enjoy an entertaining and interactive program and sing-a-long on Mexican holiday traditions. At 7 p.m., the procession leaves from the History Center's Kruse Family Stardust Terrace and ends at the Eiteljorg, where there will be more music, ponche, snacks and piñata breaking.
