Olde Tyme Christmas

The Funkstown Olde Tyme Christmas event was a big success. The temperature outside was cold and the wind died down to a light breeze, but it was evident that there was no way to slow down the steady stream of people that were flowing through the social hall and all of the stores. At best guess we had over 2800 people come through our doors. We had every wagon ride full and the face painters did over 50 children. Everyone got their fill of good food, drinks, ice cream and music as well as sharing the Christmas spirit with friends, family and town folk. It was truly a sight to see the houses all decorated with their luminaries in place, the living nativity and members of the E. Russell Hicks band where playing through out town. The girl scouts handed out over 400 cookies and the fire hall did over 600 dinners. The park was a light with luminaries and the bond fire and the whole town was filled with excitement. Please E-mail the town hall and let them know just what you liked most about the event. Thanks to all who made the event possible.
