While Santa Claus hustles and bustles in preparation for the big night, Mrs. Claus is doing much more than sugaring Santa’s cookies and shining his shoes.

Once again, Mrs. Claus, accompanied by Santa’s elves, will travel all the way from the North Pole to be the guest of honor at the Christmas By the Sea children’s tea party at the Hampton Inn, Main Street Chincoteague, on Sunday, Dec. 15th.

The event has garnered so much attention, and with limited seating you must call now to reserve your child’s seat for 2PM.

“Santa agreed that I could come,” said Mrs. Claus . “It’ll be lots of fun.”

Mrs. Claus, who knows Santa better than anyone, will show the children a scrapbook of her life with Santa. She’ll offer sing-a-long Christmas songs, games and gifts.

After the children have had their hot cocoa, kid-sized sandwiches and Christmas cookies, they’ll have an opportunity to have their photo taken with the Queen of the North Pole.

“They’ll learn things that will surprise them,” said Mrs. Claus.

Pre-paid reservations are required at $15 per person.

Call 757-894-0924

The children are encouraged to dress for a tea party. Accessories will be available for guests who do not have something.

To convince the skeptics back at work, get a t-shirt to memorialize every chilling detail!

Prizes await the best costumes in many categories, and more! Just remember, if you decide to plunge, you'll need to read and sign the Plunge Waiver and Release Form. There is NO fee to enter the water.

Don't be left out in the cold!

Too Chicken to Plunge?

Nutcracker Ballet

23 years of Holiday Magic

Eastern Shore's Own (ESO)

Nandua High School
26350 Lankford Highway
Onley, VA  23418

Months in the making, ESOArtsCenter prepares its annual gift to the Eastern Shore Community with its popular rendition of the Nutcracker, its 23^rd production of the Russian Ballet turned American Classic.

A cast of nearly 100 tells the enchanted story that entwines a young girl’s dream of a prince and a battle with the Mouse King, a guiding angel and an amazing visit through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets. Beautiful choreography and music pairs with elaborate costumes and sets in an event both adults and children adore.  

Each year ESO School of Dance’s production takes on a new personality with roles and choreography adapted to enhance each dancer’s uniqueness under the masterful hand of Dance Director and Choreographer Dana Floyd-Sutter. It is also a time for high school seniors to shine during their last ESO Christmas performance.

This year will be a treat as there are four senior dancers, each of which have been with ESO for at least 10 years, said Floyd-Sutter.

“All four have something wonderful to add to the ballet,“ she said. “Ellie Saunders is the athlete giving power to her jumps & turns. Grace Howie has a beautiful elegance and wonderful lines. Shelby Rohde is the classic ballerina with delicate jumps and soft lines. Zuri Gagnon is the spitfire with her contagious smile & a true zest and sparkle for all things on stage –she loves jumping!”

The Nutcracker’s central character, a girl named Clara is the dream role for many young ballerinas. This year 11-year-old Annie Schreiber plays Clara. Floyd-Sutter refers to Schreiber as “naturally gifted both mentally and physically” for the coveted role.

“Annie is a dynamo of a dancer yet she has the face of a little girl,” she said. “She brings a magical quality to the role.”

During his 19 years of playing guitar and singing back-up vocals for the Houserockers, Toms’ recorded six studio albums and one live concert album. In 1995, the acclaimed CD, “American Babylon,” was recorded and produced by Bruce Springsteen.
