GUEST COLUMN: Main events

The Main Street Committee is in full swing making plans for the holiday season. Unbelievable, that Christmas is just around the corner.

Beverly Bentley Ingram, is coordinating the very popular Christmas Home Tour. Tickets can be purchased at the Red Scooter. I will let you know when they are available.

Too busy to decorate a tree? We have the solution, attend the Christmas Tree Auction, coordinated by Laurita Aubrey, held at the Sanctuary. After you have purchased a beautifully decorated tree, you can relax and enjoy music while spending time with your Main Street friends. Both events are scheduled for December 4.

The Main Street Committee and the Chamber of Commerce are partnering for this year’s Christmas on Main Street, scheduled for December 11. If you would like to help with the event, please contact Gordon Deapen at 502-439-9782. The annual Christmas parade and Santa’s visit are huge favorites of the children. We encourage you to make a float and be part of the parade, contact Scott Robinson at 502-210-7313 to reserve a spot in the Christmas on Main Street Parade.

We invite you, your family and friends to join us for all these events and to shop locally. Make memories that last longer than the ribbons and gift-wrap, spend time together and make a commitment to support your community.

Local churches will be singing and caroling, there will be games for all ages. Depending on the temperature, a cup of hot chocolate could be just what you need to complete the evening’s festivities.

May all your families be healthy, happy and truly blessed this holiday season.
