Clair Culliford of The Veranda Presents is offering holiday entertainment for Chatham-Kent at Art & Heirloom Shoppe, 137 King St in downtown Chatham. 

Those looking for a break from shopping are invited to pop in anytime between noon and 2 p.m. for a selection of holiday treats. 

1. Choose a Christmas poem you’d like to hear, perhaps “'Twas The Night Before Christmas,” or “The Boy Who Laughed at Santa Claus.” Mr. Culliford will read it for you. 

2. Enjoy hot apple cider and cookies.

3. Browse the artwork filling the walls.
