Prepare to laugh when you join Ida LeClair for Christmas in Mahoosuc Mills. Ida’s holiday spirit is so bright, it could light up an entire inflatable penguin village. Actress Susan Poulin brings her warm and funny character to life at the Franklin Public Library in Franklin, on Saturday, December 14, at 7:30 PM.  

“She just beams love out into the world, and that is something we need right now,” Poulin says.
Come on over to Ida and Charlie’s house and pick up a few holiday decorating tips, discover the secret in the not-so-secret Santa plan, and get the scoop on Ida’s latest Christmas craft project with the Women Who Run with the Moose. Ida’s no Scrooge, so banish your bah-humbugs and prepare to laugh.

“Spending time with Ida is like talking to an old friend — one with plenty of experience and a wicked sense of humor,” says Dean Lunt, editor-in-chief of Island Port Press. While the Franklin Opera House awaits renovations to Soldiers Memorial Hall, this performance will be held next door at Franklin Public Library, 310 Central St., Franklin, NH. General Admission tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors and students.
