Beginning at 7:30 p.m., there will be entertainment in the “Circle” (under the mushroom) to include, Kevin Pierce, KMC Dancers, and Jack Marshall.

The Funsters are back on stage (W. State Street) from 9 p.m. until 12:30 a.m.

Food will be available from On The Roll starting at 7:30 with meals and then lighter fare later in the evening.

Home and Leisure

Princess (lower case)-4 — Adopt-a-Pet Dec. 27

The following animals are ready to be adopted from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in West Chester.

Chewie

Chewie is a big sweetheart who loves taking over your side of the bed. He also loves attention and affection from his people and gets along well with kids. Chewie has got basic commands like sit, stay, down, out, and enough down pat, and will entertain himself when alone without tearing up the place. Chewie would make a great family dog for almost any family. Chewie qualifies for the shelter’s current Gabriel and Emma’s Gift promo in which a generous donor has sponsored all large adult dogs at our West Chester campus through Jan. 2.

Princess

Pretty and mellow, Princess is very loving and will seek you out for attention and affection. Bonus: Princess previously lived successfully with a dog. You can adopt her for a fee you name through Sunday, Jan. 2.

For more information, go to www.bvspca.org or phone 484-302-0865.
