Old Fashioned Christmas In Wilmore, KY

Some friends have invited me to the "Old Fashioned Christmas in Wilmore" event before.

I FINALLY was able to go this year!!

This is a very cool event, and a bit unbelievable. It is excessively pleasant.

Several businesses have Christmas snacks and live music. Most weren't trying to sell anything, they were simply being nice and festive members of their community!

How many people can say that they have watched a band play in the frozen food section of the grocery store? Do you know anyone who has ever watched live music in a Chinese restaurant, while eating a free egg roll?

A movie was playing on a window of a business, and scouts were handing out cups for hot chocolate.

At the end of the evening, there was a very nice music program at the local church.

If ANYONE can contact me with the names of the bands I photographed inside of the bank or in the IGA, I would appreciate it! I would love to go check out these bands again in a more traditional setting.

The three piece band at the IGA did a GREAT Bobby McGee. The larger band in the bank just seemed to have a very nice country/folky sound going on. Usually a band that big can get a little sloppy, but this multi generational bunch really sounded right together.

There was something a bit unreal about this event. How cool is it that businesses in an area do something so pleasant?
