Hometown Christmas, Dec. 14

Homan Hall Performing Arts Center has announced it’s annual “Hometown Christmas” will take place at 7 p.m., Dec. 14. 

“This fun-filled event is the perfect way to kick-start your holidays with great music, home-baked goodies and laughter,” Denny Ward said. “With a host of local talent, this event has become one of those occasions that everyone looks forward to.”

This year the lineup includes St. Louis-based pianist Rocky Tucker, The Tucker Family, Marquand-Zion Choir, Stephen Hente, Isaac Hallock, Keyrae, the Settle Sisters and others.

Ward said this is the 13th year for the event and it has become a holiday tradition for him. 

“You never know what you are going to experience the night of the event,” Ward said. “Last year, my favorite part was when these children came out and sang. It was just heartwarming, joyful and precious.”
