Decline of Our Community Carol Festival Reflects Changing Times
The piece reflects on the fading prominence of the annual Christmas carol festival once supported by many faith communities and schools in Roblin. It notes dwindling choir participation, lower attendance, and fewer ensembles, contrasted with past bustling crowds, late dining after events, and broader cultural shifts including busier lives and alternative entertainment options. The Goose Lake High student council kept the event alive, but the author laments the loss of a communal holiday tradition.
