It’s the holiday season so make sure you don’t miss all the fun events going on at the Capitol. The Holiday Open House kicks off today, Dec. 10 and lasts until Sunday, Dec. 13. The Capitol is beautifully decorated and there are musical performances all day in the Rotunda.
Also at the Capitol today, there will be a holiday festival starting at 5 p .m. with children’s activities, food, community mascots and Santa and Mrs. Claus. The N.C. museums of History and Natural Science will have exhibits and activities for the children. Did I mention there will be free carriage rides around the Capitol?
Gov. Bev Perdue and First Gentleman Bob Eaves will participate in the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6 p.m. tonight on the south side of the Capitol grounds. I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the festivities!
