Special Event & Signing by Joyce Byers

Saturday, May 19 at 12 p.m. & 3 p.m.

If you enjoy collecting Byers’ Choice Carolers or giving them as gifts, you won't want to miss this special opportunity to have your carolers signed by Joyce Byers!

Note: Only carolers purchased at The Shops during this event will be signed.

Joyce Byers created the first Caroler in the late 1960s as a Christmas decoration for her home to represent the timeless Christmas tradition of caroling that she enjoyed so much. The unique appearance and handcrafted quality of the Carolers quickly gained a following.

This program will begin in the Smith Auditorium and feature a conversation between "General and Lady Washington." Guests will have an exclusive opportunity to gain insight into the Washingtons' life in the 18th century. After an introduction of Joyce Byers, she will be on hand in the lobby immediately following the event to sign Carolers purchased at The Shops that day.

Programs will be offered from 12 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. followed by an hour for Joyce Byers to sign purchases and again from 3 p.m.-3:45 p.m. with an additional hour for signing. Each program will include a 45-minute character presentation with “General and Lady Washington” .

For our customers’ convenience, a special Byers' Choice shop will be set up in the Vaughan Lobby and additional and limited edition Carolers will be available only at this very special event.

This event is free. Advance registration is not required.
