This weekend is shaping up to be a festive one in Williamsburg with events planned for Saturday and Sunday, including the Williamsburg Feels Like Home Christmas Parade, which is set for 6 p.m. Saturday on Main Street.
Once again, organizations in town have the potential to make a little money as there will be first, second and third place awards given out for floats in one of three categories, church, business and school.
First place winners in these three categories will receive $150, second place will get $100, and third place will get $50.
In addition, each school band/choir that participates in the Williamsburg Feels Like Home Christmas Parade will receive $200.
Anyone having questions about the Williamsburg Feels Like Home Christmas Parade should contact Kay Petrey at (606) 765-0701 or Jayma Moore at (606) 523-8384.
Prior to the Williamsburg parade Saturday, the Whitley County Cooperative Extension Arts Center, which is located across the street from Williamsburg City Hall, will hold a pre-parade family holiday event from 3-5:30 p.m.
There will be holiday photos, free hot cocoa, and attendees can create a gingerbread house.
The following day on Sunday, Williamsburg Independent School will host its 26th Annual Christmas in a Small Town presentation.
There will be a Christmas Dinner starting at 1 p.m., which will cost $12 per person.
Afterwards, there will be a free concert at 2:30 p.m. in the J.B. Mountjoy Gymnasium.
