The holidays would not be the same without The Nutcracker. In today’s interview on C What’s On, we sat down with Natasha Getman and her dance students, Jilian Plamondon and Jane Weymouth. Natasha discusses how she keeps the show fresh each year, and Jilian and Jane, who have danced with Bossov Ballet at MCI since they were five years, add their unique angle on how Natasha molds them into the fine young dancers they have become.

The 5th Annual Sukeforth Festival of Trees is coming right up on the weekends of November 22 and November 29 at The Elm in Waterville. This week on C What’s On we sit down with festival organizers, Bob and Annette Marin, to discuss this year’s project. Each year, this festival attracts more than 15,000 people and raises upwards of $200,000. The 50-cent raffle tickets for each tree can win you the tree and all of its “decorations,” which range in value from $500 to over $5,000. (Last year, one of the trees had a four-wheeler!) So, make this a family event and bring your children (Santa is rumored to be attending).
