The Sylvan Lake Massed Choir gave their opening performance of the season at the festival. This year’ presentation, Song of Joy, is scheduled to perform in Sylvan Lake at various events and venues until Dec. 11.

Looks like the choir might have been upstaged during their performance. Director Kerry Heisler can be seen in front.

Tracy Grienke, owner of Let Them Play, was one of 65 market vendors. Sylvan Lake Farmer’s Market manager Crystal Loewen said it was the same number of vendors as in 2019, with some new vendors added and others not choosing to return.
