The Salem Public Library will be presenting the film "Christopher The Christmas Tree" this Thursday, Dec. 5, beginning at 5 p.m.
The film is especially dear to area residents since the story, coloring book and eventually the film were all the creation of the late George Bowers. Bowers was actually born at the Bowers Tree Farm in 1938.
Bowers wrote and performed songs about Christopher to area children and at regional venues for decades. The story was eventually made into a movie, which premiered 30 years ago on the Fox Family Network in 1994.
Everyone is invited to join Christopher The Christmas Tree, Whooty the Owl and all of their animal friends in the Valley of Hidden Hollow in the showing of this favorite holiday movie. The movie is approximately 30 minutes long and is free to the public.
Seating is very limited. Please call the Salem Public Library at 812-883-5600 to reserve a space.
The library is located at 212 N. Main St., Salem.
