How about an outing to the Townships’ popular Lac Brome Theatre? Quartom, a male quartet who sing a cappela (without accompaniment) are performing their Christmas show on Friday. Joyous and festive songs will be the order of the day – some humorous, others more classical. The theatre is in the picturesque village of Knowlton, so take time to wander around its cute boutiques, chatting to the locals and looking for that “special something”.
