* For those who want to know what a "Dance Card" is:

Originally this event was called Victorian Christmas. Times change and so did the name of the event - to Christmas on the Bay and now to Holiday by the Sea. But, the Dance Card has been help over from the original Victorian Christmas.

In Victorian days, young people would be invited to balls. Each person was given a "Dance Card" listing the dances that were planned for the evening. The young men would ask their favorite young ladies for a dance and would sign her card next to the name of each dance (with a note on his own card so he knew who he was to dance with that evening too!). 

Our Dance Cards list each participating business (listed above). You take the card around to each business and ask to have it stamped. When you have collected a complete collection of stamps, you take your card to the Lighthouse Gallery to trade for a sack full of goodies!
