Don’t Miss Siberian Solstice in Paulding to Raise Money for Caring & Sharing Food Pantry

The Caring & Sharing Food Pantry is bringing Siberian Solstice back to Paulding for a fundraising concert at the Paulding Exempted Village Schools on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7:00 p.m. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. in the school auditeria at 405 N. Water Street. Open to the general public, admission to the concert is by free will donation.

Before the show and at intermission attendees can bid on more than 15 artist-made and high-end items in a silent auction to help raise funds for Paulding Schools’ Blessings in a Bag. This grassroots, student-designed project provides weekend food for more than 150 students from Paulding and Oakwood elementary schools. 

Mark your calendars! Don’t miss the magic of the holidays in Trans-Siberian-Orchestra style as the 12-members of Siberian Solstice take the stage. Enhanced by video and an exciting light show, this northwest Ohio band performs contemporary and traditional Christmas music featuring vocals, electronic keyboards, guitars and drums.
