Once a year, the Averitt Center staff lights up the big nine-foot tree, hangs the wreaths, and sets out the Nutcracker. For the 2010 holiday season, the Averitt Center has picked an Americana theme for its decorating - birch bark ribbon, carved wooden birds and iron jiggle-bell balls. In keeping with the idea of an old-fashioned holiday season, "The Director's Invitational Exhibition" features the work of Scott Foxx, a professional artist and master story-teller.
