The Central College community celebrated the holiday season with annual tradition over the weekend.

Members of various campus ensembles performed in the Candlelight Concerts in Douwstra Auditorium Friday and Saturday. As part of the Friday evening concert, Central College President Mark Putnam made a special announcement regarding the upcoming renovation of Douwstra.

The stage will now be named after the Hoekstra family after the estate of Jim and Bea Hoekstra donated $1.2 million to the project. Work at Douwstra Auditorium will begin after students leave for winter break and continue through next summer.
