Punch reception to follow concert

The “Ladle Brothers” have been enlisted to make a return appearance to serve complimentary warm apple punch following the Orange-Athol Community Chorus Christmas concert in Orange Town Hall on Sunday, Dec. 22. Pictured testing the recipe last year are the Yuletide “brothers,” Jack Bergquist, left, and Terry Reed, of Orange. The pair is set to again don their signature jaunty caps, red bow ties, proper gloves and jovial smiles in their special recurrent role. The free, roughly hour-long concert is slated to begin at 2 o’clock. The brief punch reception to follow was instituted last year when new producers — director Theresa Bergquist and emcee Ann Reed — assumed organizational responsibilities for the annual event established in 2001 by Robert Ellison.
