The NE speech and debate club invites the public to celebrate the season with TCC’s Holiday Festival on NE Campus, Saturday, Dec. 8, 5-8 p.m.

Ambra Costner, speech and debate club president, said the holiday festival originally started as a dinner.

To get more people involved, club members started the holiday festival.

“The holiday festival is to get the community together regardless of religion and just let them celebrate the holidays together,” Costner said.

The family-friendly event will include food, drinks, arts and crafts and games and prizes donated by local businesses, and artwork donated by Justin Bryan, a TCC student.

Children will be able to have their picture taken with Santa.

The event will also as a fundraiser for the NE Speech and Debate Club. A silent auction will be held with all proceeds going to the NE club.

The club is raising money for a March trip to London to attend the International Speech and Debate Festival.
