Looking for a new location for her growing business, Connie Adams of Heavenly Delight Cakes found Neoga, more specifically the former Rentfrow Building Supply store. Adams said she had outgrown her former location on Charleston Ave. in Mattoon, and was delighted (pardon the pun) to see all the space available to her in the new shop. Now there is room for the freezers, refrigerators, display cases and worktables that are necessary for her specialty cake business. Heavenly Delight Cakes makes gorgeous taste sensations for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions. An area at the front of the store is set aside for consultations, and Adams appears at bridal shows in the area showing off her wares. She also has an extensive website, www.heavenlydelightcakes.com, where people see hundreds of cakes and other confections designed and executed by Adams and her two full time employees, Yvonne Tharp and Tana Easter.
As last week's News explained, the Children's Shopping Spree will be held Saturday, Dec. 5, beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers will help children shop for items to give to family and friends and available to the little shoppers at a discounted rate ''within their gift-giving budget.'' The children can then home with gifts for everyone on their list all wrapped and ready to put under the tree. Cantata
Continuing their tradition of ''giving'' to the community, the Coles County Barbershop Chorus will present their 34th Annual Christmas Benefit Concerts on Sunday, Dec. 6. Wesley United Methodist Church (2206 4th Street, Charleston) will host the 4 p.m. concert, while the First Presbyterian Church (10 Charleston Ave. in Mattoon) will be the site of the 7 p.m. performance. Both churches have adequate parking and are wheel chair accessible. The 30-man chorus and 5 quartets will present this FREE one hour concert that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas. The traditional songs, such as ''Silent Night,'' ''Jesu Bambino,'' ''Angels We Have Heard on High,'' ''Carol of the Bells,'' ''Mary, Did You Know?'' and ''O Holy Night'' will be performed along with some new music. For the first time ever, a harpist will play the prelude and offertory music. Hannah Drake, the harpist and also a talented vocalist, is a sophomore at Charleston High School .
