Grace Haile played the part of one of the "party girls" in the Carolina Ballet's annual production of The Nutcracker. The "party girls" are invited to a Christmas Eve party thrown by the main character "Clara" Forty children played roles in this year's production, including that of Clara, toy soldiers, mice, and the party girls. Haile and other characters marched in the annual Raleigh Christmas parade to kick off the holiday season. SCOTT SHARPE — ssharpe@newsobserver.com
