DECEMBER 8 – Jack Frost and the Frostbites: We bring you a little bit of early Christmas season cheer as we welcome Altoona-based holiday season musical revelers Jack Frost and the Frostbites, who since 1981 have driven around Blair County in December to serenade neighborhoods and street corners by performing Christmas season music from the back of a truck. We’ll learn their story and hear songs from their first CD, “Songs From the Back of a Truck!”
