SALISBURY — Seven year-old Cooper and Benton Clark of Cary enjoyed last year’s “Scrooge’s Christmas Trolley Tour” so much they asked Grandma Scrooge, Sue Clark, to make them each a complete outfit. They watched Grandad Scrooge, Len Clark, on the tour one day in full regalia.

Thus, for one fleeting moment, we had three Scrooges in Salisbury

 Although all 67 shows are sold out, there are often one or two empty seats caused by last-minute cancellations. The only way to find out is to drop by the Convention and Visitors Bureau on show nights. The tour runs Thursdays at 6, 6:45, 7:30 and 8:15 p.m., with an additional 9 p.m. performance Fridays and Saturdays, ending Dec. 22.
