Ringing in the Christmas season for Bartlesville

It is FUN to live in the Bartlesville area!  There are always plenty of activities and events.  Last night (December 1, 2011) we were privileged to attend the Prelude to Christmas at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.  The university showcased the newly refurbished Foster mansion, which has been remodeled with grants from the Lyon Foundation.  Guests enjoyed touring the main floor rooms, the entire upstairs, and the downstairs "rec room" area.  Delicious hors d'oeuvres were served throughout the mansion, and carolers and string quartet provided music.  The final event of the evening was a fireworks show!
