Bubba and I were out for a walk this evening and we were lucky to stumble across Bardstown's first annual "Lighting of the Christmas Tree". It was held at the square in front of the Visitor Center. I guess the town decided after all the renovations they did over the past year to improve the square, that they should dress it up right for the Christmas season. Bubba was not happy with the detour that took him closer to the crowd of people, but I forced him to indulge me a little. They had singers from The Stephen Foster Play House decked out in full garb serenading us with Christmas tunes. During their singing a police siren pierced the air as the car headed towards the center square. I thought that was pretty rude until it pulled up in front of the center and I realised it was just dropping off Santa to the festivities. After a few speeches and a couple of songs they finally got to the lighting. As we counted down to the lighting, they asked us to also cross our fingers to ensure the lights would all come on!

After!
The pictures were taken with the IPhone, so they are not so hot. I would have tried to get closer if I didn't think Bubba would throw himself in front of an incoming car trying to stop me. Watching the festivities made me realize how much I am going to miss this place. I love the feeling here.
Well, it is early to bed for me tonight. I have to be up and at Meijer's for 6:00 am to get my new vacuum!! I'm excited......and that saddens me a little. woohoo...a cleaning appliance!
