Among the morning’s speakers were (above) Jan Lowry of Lexington, representing the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and (below row, center) Brandon Dorsey, camp commander of the Stonewall Brigade of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Windy Christmas Tree Burn
Windy Christmas Tree Burn
The annual Christmas tree burn at Lime Kiln Theater was a considerably scaled down event this past Saturday. Postponed from Jan. 6 because of predicted inclement weather, the tree burn was met with high winds, which meant that only one tree could be burned at a time. Because of the dry conditions of the trees, each went up in flames in a matter of seconds. Complimentary chili, cornbread and hot cocoa provided by The Southern Inn proved popular with the crowd.
